Siemens

There are some pros. You get to do some international travel. You get to work close to the hardware you're actually working on. Salary is very fair. It would be an okay place to do manufacturing or manufacturing engineering.

A very frustrating place to work as a design engineer for gas turbines. Sloppy engineering abounds.

Design decisions are made based on corporate politics, not on what's best for the company or for the engine. A culture of poor quality exists.

Career opportunities in Charlotte are very limited.

Discontinue the old product lines which no longer work. Take design decision authority away from project managers. Stop letting schedule trump quality. Institute chief engineers, as is common in other industries and other companies.
