Pros

Siemens gives you opportunities to play with the latest technologies and to get used to work on large projects/products under strict QA procedures. Moreover, you're normally part of a team but you can arrange your time and tasks with a good level of independence.

Cons

Bureaucracy plays a key role on every activity and sometimes it's too stiff; it also affects career progression and moving forward from your position takes ages. Also, most of the times management decisions are not properly advertised to the employees and business strategies are not clear.

Pros

Excellent benefits package — flexible PTO, strong 6% 401(k) match, and solid health insurance coverage. Overall a stable, well-known employer.

Cons

Bloated headcount with poorly defined roles in manufacturing — many employees lack clear work scope. Heavy corporate politics with leadership positions held by individuals lacking industry expertise or best-practice knowledge.
