Pros
If you want access to a global organization and the location or cultural opportunities, this is a good fit.
Cons
Not great for advancement past a certain point if you are not German or Swiss. Not a place for free thinking or entrepreneurial ideas. The company and structure are rigid and slow. Local autonomy even for mid to senior level managers is limited by multiple layers of matrix, occupied mostly by career Siemens types who are more interested in maintaining their political status than taking care of customers or achieving stronger shareholder returns.
