Pros

Siemens is still a good stamp on your resume if you want to build a career in manufacturing and industrial solutions. It's fairly stable and tends to have pretty conservative financial policies, which helps the company to fight through tough economic times.

Cons

The corporate culture is not homogeneous and career prospects vary widely from country to country. In addition, senior management lacks business acumen, with consequences in the way they make decisions and deal with employees. Evaluations are highly subjective and salaries don't reflect actual performance. Plus the decision process is extremely slow and it's hard to make things go forward.

Pros

Competitive pay, flex vacation/ PTO

Cons

Organizational restructuring seems more frequent than other companies I’ve worked for. Constant changes in processes. In four years I’ve seen change in incentive plan twice and not for the better even though they’ll tell you it is. You can make great money in sales still. Corporate alignment of rollouts of product timeline v. actual reality in the area level.
