Pros

It's a huge company and unlikely to go bankrupt any time soon. It's almost impossible to get fired here unless you commit murder.

Cons

Almost impossible to get a promotion or change jobs internally no matter how highly you're rated. Raises are pathetically low, so if you come to work here, negotiate as high a starting salary as you can. You'll have to follow everything Germany dictates, no matter how much it might make sense or save money to do otherwise. The 401(k) plan is horrible (Aon Hewitt) - very few funds, all proprietary, not publicly traded so you can't track them, no index funds! Paternalistic management style. They nickel and dime their employees - example: while traveling, you may only spend $10 on breakfast, $15 on lunch, and $25 on dinner, AND it's not a per diem! No matter where you go! So unless you eat out of vending machines, you're going to have to kick in some of your own money so you don't starve to death. I literally had a higher dollar limit for meals over 20 years ago!! OK, I'll stop now.

Pros

Siemens has very good benefits, PTO and Vacation Policies. If you click (agree) with the people in charge or management, you will have it your career made and get training as needed.

Cons

If you do not click (agree) with the people in charge, or management, start looking for another job. If you want a job with them, tell them what they want to hear and do not give an honest or educated opinion.

Pros

Flexible hours, good benefits, friendly environment, sometimes can work from home if your job allows, provide you with a computer, interesting to see the international vibe in the office.

Cons

This rotational program kind of keeps you in the gate without advancement until you finish the two years. No formal orientation, you kind of have to figure everything out by yourself. Singular analyst class, virtually no one my age (just out of college).
