Pros
* Diverse, forward thinking, transparent and incredibly innovative
* The size of Siemens both in the UK & globally means that there are many opportunities to move between business and countries
* With the head office outside of London you get a good work life balance and the offices are practically empty by 5:30
* Huge focus on employee wellbeing and extremely flexible with regards to home working, annual leave etc
* Great benefits, including an on site free Nuffield gymCons
* The salaries could be higher

Pros
Flexible working hours, working from home (on occasion), good development and training opportunities in my own experience. There is potential to move across business in different job functions and interesting roles. Good employee programs to join and get involved in for charity, wellbeing etc. that are all very encouraged.
Cons
Need more consistency in management standards across functions. Communications down the tree could be improved.

Pros
Siemens have various divisions and maintains a sharing priority of each aspect, to all staff members. This keeps us involved, feeling worthy and respected. It's important to know what the future looks like for the company you work for; everyone is a valid member and a key piece in giving life to the bigger picture.
Cons
Communication is about the above mentioned Pros, could be delivered and clearly explained more regularly. Involvement from senior management, lead workshops, that explain the vision - in a clear, simple, concise way. A constant reminder/update of how you fit into this vision too.
Advice to Management
Communicate in simple terms and words. Don't talk too much - try to use visual aids to assist in getting info across.

Pros
Good, caring culture. Reliable. Loyal. Supportive. Innovative. Good leadership.
Cons
Bit stuck in its ways despite trying to change. Very corporate, bit stuffy.

Opportunity to manage large projects with worldwide exposure, using state of the art technologies and meeting very qualified people and team members.

Huge politics,you need to permanently take care of your back, because people tend to pass blame to others quite easily.

Great vision, wants to make a change in the world, looks after staff, flexible, wide opportunity. Building internal communities to provide a sense of belonging.
