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.

Pros
Great Culture
Loads of Opportunity
Brilliant PeopleCons
Trying to embrace digitalisation but the majority of IT senior management old in both age and more importantly thought. A lot are too risk averse and don’t like to be challenged!
Advice to Management
Get younger blood in, certainly those with passion and entrepreneurship shouldn’t be shot down and wasted.
