Pros

Siemens Railway Automation is a low-stress place to work. The group is young and motivated. The management is motivated to use good testing practices and agile development methods. The software team is supported by German engineers and very senior engineers, as well as other PhDs across multiple disciplines with excellent domain knowledge and experience. Once you are in Siemens, you will never lose your job. They will almost always find a place for you and your skillset. At Christmas, you are given an 8-10 business day vacation.

Siemens looks great on your resume, especially if you would like to move to healthcare or finance to make bigger money.

Cons

The pay is very low for Senior Engineers. The pay is rather high for Junior Engineers.

And if you do not have a manager working for you, you will remain at a very low salary until you leave the company.

Advice to Management

Try to increase the pay scale. Make the work more about being an engineer and less about being a part of the group.
