Siemens

Stability. People are rarely fired, even for poor performance. Management is never fired or demoted; they are only shuffled into different positions. If you want a mediocre international career for 40 years and can say "yes" to everything asked of you, this is the place for you.

401K (a match of 6%) and Medical (50% contribution) lags behind their competitors and even smaller companies.

Paid vacation is average (start at 15 days a year).

Management is horrible!

I had five managers I was responsible to for one project.

They were not flexible regarding work times, even during family medical issues.

I received requests from management not to document off-process conditions and procedures, as well as to "do whatever necessary" to meet certain deliverable dates, including violating Siemens' own procedures.

Time for some serious G&A reductions!

The company is no longer a true technical innovator; listen to their advertisements:

• "40% of our employees have technical jobs"
• "PARTNERING" with companies to develop the innovations of tomorrow.

Completely remove deadbeat managers and start treating your employees like you care.

There are some really intelligent and hardworking people still at the company, but you will lose them all quickly if you don't give them the recognition and development they deserve and continue a culture of cronyism.
