Pros

The site has a restaurant, and you can get warm food there affordably.

Cons

My direct manager lied to me when I asked to change shifts. Unfortunately for him, it backfired.

A common joke at Siemens is 'you can still work on Saturday.' After hearing this joke every week for a year, it gets old.

You don't determine your own career. Managers enroll you in a course without your knowledge, and they decide what you will be doing in the coming years.

Management too often hides behind rules. For example, after working extra hard for a year, I only received an additional 80 euros gross. If you indicate that you are not satisfied, they say: 'Sorry, I can only give what the table indicates.'

Advice to Management

Ga op management cursus.
