Pros

First of all, considering the gamut of small vendors in the SCADA industry in India, Siemens offers great pay. But compared to other big names like ABB or Areva, maybe not as good, but not too bad either.

The best thing about Siemens is the work culture. It's extremely relaxed for an MNC of its stature. In my two years here, I've barely felt any work-related pressures. No wonder many employees stay here for over 20 years.

Cons

As a SCADA engineer, one barely scratches the surface of the technology. Almost all products and technologies offered have been developed in Germany, so the average engineer here in India is never really exposed to the nitty-gritty.

Additionally, all technical training offered is worthless.
