regulars folks

Automation Project Manager: My daily schedule often revolves around construction hours so it's not uncommon to have phone calls at 6 am-2:30PM. Much of my work, however, is accomplished anytime I have access to my computer and remote access to the network. I keep a regular presence in the office, but it is a choice, not a requirement as long as I complete my projects. So, flexibility is offered but you need to back it up with results.

Siemens is a company of 350,000 people and hundreds of sites. Every department is different. The "vibe" in any department depends on your immediate supervisor. There is no way to accurately answer this question.

Locally, it is not good. As much as I can. I don’t make enough money to make it worth it.

Not at all

For engineers it can be

It is good.

None, employee survey is not acted on

I wish I had known how hard I had to work to rebuild Siemens name in our area, that all of the accounts go to the brother in law, and commission was something you don’t see. Unless you are one of them

Good place to start but long term for engineers not great

Open office concept, with low partitions and shared tables for desks

New office layout was very nice but noisy

Average

Less than average, no reward for top team players

Less German central control, more local control.

Changing some of the processes that have always been done so we continue doing them i.e. Solutions/Service. That same sales person over Solutions can very well execute the Service Sales. It cuts a contact from the customers tree and helps gain trust.

Your work life balance is what you make it.

Health, Dental, Vision, 401k with matching, life insurance, family leave, tuition reimbursement, continuous education training, PTO, and other voluntary discounts

Three options for health insurance ranging from HSA with $500/yr match that costs about $600/yr for a single up to a PPO that is about 4X more expensive. 401(k) is a 100% match up to 6% with a 5-year vesting ramp. After 5 years it vests immediately.

relaxed

Yes, they do both when you are first looking to be hired after the interview.

Team Leader and 3 weeks

Once in a year

Power Generation is in trouble. The rest are doing well.

Kaiser has done an exceptional job in the years he has been in charge. The stock and profitability of the company has gone up significantly.

No outings at our particular branch. Everyone else does. We don’t even get a Christmas dinner like everyone

Learning, different challenges. But not nearly with the money for all The effort

Extra Profit 1/10 of the value of 1 share last year. This year maybe more. So, not much.

Among siemens good

It isn’t very good.
