Siemens Energy & Automation Reviews

Pros

Technology and capabilities leader, good pay and benefits.

Cons

Can become confusing which division needs to take sales responsibility.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to combine and streamline the automation group to sell complete solutions to defined customers

Pros

Good benefits package, many employees with 15+ years with the company, helpful within my own department, charitable contributions, fairly quick hiring process

Cons

I could not believe the amount of politics, it is literally nauseating. If you desire ANY type of management position be prepared to brown nose until your lips fall off. 95% of management positions are held by men, regardless if there is a more qualified woman. Also, do not expect to stay in one management position for more than three years. I was so excited to work there until I realized the morals of most management. It is truly disturbing. There is infighting between departments that MUST stop.

Advice to Senior Management

Acknowledge the people that work hard to better the company. We should not have to grovel for recognition. Morale is low. We truly want Siemens to succeed so please stop reminding us how poorly the market is and acknowledge the fact that we are the only reason there is still a company at all.

Pros

Good corporate backbone for support. Good benefits and some in house perks. Opportunities to work with or gain support from other sister companies. Ability to transfer to other facilities within the corporation.

Cons

Way too much corporate oversight. Too politically correct; you'll be in training and indoctrination every time you turn around. So big the arms don't know where the feet are going.

Pros

Personnal growth is fast in Siemens;
Good company reputation and famous product.

Cons

Complex internal procedure;
Can't fulfill career target because the company too big.

Pros

The pay and benefits are the best reasons.

Cons

The corporate management getting involved in local branches.

Advice to Senior Management

The local management does a good job.

Pros

Good social system, friendly colleagues. Stable and strong company. You will have a lot of time for your family and friends.

Cons

Run quickly away if you are looking for a dynamic company and opportunities to professional growht, this is a wrong place. Pension funds support is very poor only from 15EUR up to 24EUR monthly!!

Advice to Senior Management

Start to think about new possibilities and stop to think only about your salary and your life without any problems.

Pros

great benefits package, 20 days paid time off, good manager, current leadership beyond the middle management level is forward leaning, inventive, creative, and has the appearance that they genuinly care.

Cons

no upward or lateral mobility, little to no training, inbreeding is significant, very little knowledge sharing among groups, little interest in moving beyond the status quo. Most issues are middle management issues, not top or bottom issues.

Pros

World class products and engineering expertise are the main attractions. Corporate management from Germany provides the business acumen and forward thinking metrics that enables Siemens to be participants in new, emerging and developing markets.

Cons

The Corporate culture is very silo oriented even when the negative aspects of such a structure are acknowledged by the highest levels of management. They have recently re-structured to minimize the internal competitive nature of such a structure and time will tell if it is a success.

Advice to Senior Management

Value the top performers even during the recession. Cutbacks have been made that are detrimental to the overall success of the corporate objectives. While it is anticipated that the second tier players will rise to the challenge and become top performers, the real results are that they are completely overwhelmed by the work load and extra burdens thrust upon them. Burn out and apathy will be the results for the majority of them.

Pros

flexibility of timing to report to work, good growth prospects. cubicle is big, good salary, good benefitts feels like home

Cons

older ppl working. no sense of competetion amongst folks. every one is happy with lives so no sense to push for better life and hence improvement of business

Pros

Because I love the culture and these people of this company.

Cons

Far away from my home.And the salary doesn't meet my expectation.

Advice to Senior Management

raise our salary.
