Siemens

Siemens Medical in Malvern is a big company with a variety of career opportunities. It is usually easy to move around to different groups, applications, and technologies. The working conditions are flexible; you can work from home as necessary, and your daily work hours can fluctuate to blend with your personal life. The salary and benefits are generally competitive or better than industry averages.

Things usually move slow, but that's fairly normal for large companies. Siemens is going through tough times right now (like the rest of the country), so new development is few and far between. That means that the technology is stagnant; there are few opportunities to bring in and incorporate new technologies. Almost all effort right now is in stabilizing existing product lines to provide a solid foundation for moving forward sometime in 2009.

Continue being transparent and honest with the state and direction of the company. The majority of employees will support the direction as long as we can know the direction and are given the opportunity to understand why that direction/strategy has been chosen.
