Pros

They have good benefits compared to other companies.

You can learn lots of new stuff if you don't mind doing it on your own time.

The company name seems to carry a lot of weight.

They are into interesting technology.

Cons

Siemens wants its pound of flesh. If your division is small, it can make the year-to-year outcomes look bad, and that's when you will start to get "help." The help appears to be the last nail in the coffin when there isn't vast improvement. I wouldn't work for them again because of the way they conduct employee reviews and the feedback they give. If you are "old," look somewhere else. They consider experience a commodity.

Advice to Management

If the company you are thinking of buying next isn't making insane profit, please do both you and them a favor and buy someone else.
