Siemens AG Reviews

Pros

Siemens has been a terrific platform for me. I had the fortune to find various exciting and challenging positions in Germany and China that offered opportunity for tremendous professional and personal growth and development. With its vast operations, opportunities are almost limitless. However, one needs to be able to build a strong personal network to be able to tap into these opportunities.

Cons

With more than 400,000 employees Siemens is a super tanker. Whereas there are limitless opportunities, one has to develop them oneself. Nobody will look after you and take your hands and guide you without you taking the initiative.

Pros

the name, a multinational company but with a very chaotic and disorganized management in Italy

Very disorganized and bad management
