Siemens Digital Industries Software reviews about "upper management"

Upper management cares way more about its customers than its employees.

Bad work life balance and upper management is stressful

Slow upper management After acquisition by Siemens, lesser benefits/perks

Marketing automation and tools you use is a mess, making it more difficult to do you job. Also not a lot of follow through on promises to fix it as ETAs get pushed back frequently. Disconnect between product marketing and corporate marketing which creates hostility, you work with stressed out people because they have a hard time adapting to change and if you work with those people trying to get them on board you receive all the backlash. Acquisitions are poorly handled. Raises? Forget about it it's not enough to count for inflation so you essentially take a pay cut every year.

Lack of career opportunities Products are stale and not very competitive

The work is not being appreciated by the upper management

My salary is now 10% under inflation. For a huge company such as Siemens, I still don't understand how that is possible. Social events basically don't exist. Our last Christmas lunch was cut from the budget and I don't remember the last event that was actually more than just my colleagues arranging it. Or Siemens hiring an ice cream van and calling that a social event. Hiring freeze has been going for at least 2 years now. Some teams are definitely vastly more understaffed than others. No salary transparency. Small for some, but still worth mentioning - any larger meetings are full of corporate language. Yes, expected, but certainly unnecessary in the 21st century especially when a large part of your team are non-native English speakers. Internal systems are a pain. Using the timesheets and holiday request sites is genuinely an awful experience. Promotions are done once a year with a limited amount of people per team. If you're meeting the requirements, but there's other people just marginally above you, you will remain with your current salary for at least another year just because your manager can't promote more people. Their actions do not follow their words - environment is not a priority as a lot of the main clients are huge known polluters. The atmosphere in my office is miserable now. I have even heard managers talk about how they don't care about the job anymore.

upper management can be a bit slow
