Pros

good pay and bright people. YOu will find that people hang in their areas for a long time and become subject matter experts.

Cons

German model of management. Lots of processes slow down execution of projects. Some of R&D is in Germany and most of the time the direction of a project is controlled by them.

Pros

It is part of a great parent company, Siemens, at least for the moment. In general, Siemens seems to represent intellectual honesty, mutual respect, and fairness. Sadly, with the rush to sell the Siemens Enterprise Communications business, management of that business has let go of those important attributes in the process of packaging the business for sale.

Cons

Upper management has become so busy with getting the business sold, it seems they will do anything to complete the transaction.

Pros

They are a very rich company so they pay well. We traveled a lot and got great gifts and bonuses. We were allowed to get any and all gadets we felt we needed for work.....EXCELLENT!!!

Cons

Not racially equal. Most senior staff are caucasian or of asian background. The few senior minority staff are not necessarily respected. It's a very clique'ish company so expect to only do lunch with your group if you want to be a team player. The Deerfield office has 250-300 employees so everyone knows everyone. Senior management pretty much calls the shots....don't expect to make change.
