Pros

Siemens is a great place to get experience. I changed roles every 2-4 years. I started in the field, then moved through the different design groups, into research and development, and then marketing and sales. Since the company was in an aggressive growth mode, there was always opportunity to get experience.

Cons

Siemens does not have any career progressions or development. They do not promote from within; they would rather get their upper management from Siemens Germany and their middle management from other companies. Even if you take on additional responsibilities and outperform expectations, those management roles were filled from outside the company.

Advice to Management

You need to take care of your employees by first ensuring that they are safe. You are one of the only companies that does not have a safety staff.

The next part is to develop your talent within and get some career progressions.
