"Great company that cares for its staff"

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Siemens full-time (More than a year)
Pros
The role is challenging yet rewarding and I work alongside a great team.
Our working hours are flexible so I can work around family commitments and know that the company recognises the days you put long hours in. They are similarly very accepting of home working as long as it suits the work you need to do.
The benefits are good and also flexible - you choose what you want to have.
The company itself is proud to push all staff to act as if they own the company. Treat everyone fairly, recognise how we can improve the company and especially how to can reduce our carbon footprint; the company is keen to do what we can to help improve the planet whether in carbon reduction or aligning with charities around the world to help bring power, water, a future etc to all.Cons
The learning curve is sharp; you are expected to jump in to a new role with both feet and get up to speed as soon as possible. As long as you have passion for a role then this shouldn't be an issue.
Advice to Management
Continue to respect staff and all levels and you'll continue to be rewarded. My colleagues and I are very dedicated to this company and it makes it a pleasure to work here.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Siemens full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Very few.
Graduate salary was competitiveCons
Managers seemed to have a problem with where i grew up
I was made a scapegoat for other failings
MD announced to solve the parking problems '"lets just fire some people"
Employees are made to wear full suits everyday for no forseeable reason.
No flexible working
House was broken into- requested to go home (5mins drive) to check on house and call locksmith- A jay offered me a chance to take holiday.
Office in the middle of nowhere.Advice to Management
Don't discriminate against employees because they didn't grow up with a silver spoon in their mouths

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Siemens full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Good Hours, Sickness policy, share/ pension scheme.
Cons
Apprentice management very poor, given incentive to complete quickly but that promise was soon found to be false. Thrown in at the deep end with little/no training. Once out of the apprentice scheme it is ok.
Advice to Management
Treat us like apprentices, invest in our training instead of using us as cheap labour.

Pros
Fully supported through any study that is required.
Large network of employees to learn from and share experiences with.
Based worldwide so opportunities are almost endless.Cons
Some of the working environment and culture can be outdated in areas, although it does seem as though there are steps in place to try and fix this.
Advice to Management
Continue to promote digitalization across the company and ensure that this culture is taken up across the board. We shouldn't be restricted in doing this by budgets as it will save a lot more in the future.
