Pros

The company develops and manufactures products for a highly-innovative and future-oriented market: health care. And in terms of innovation Siemens Medical Solutions is definitely market leader. Future High-Tech combined with solid engineering; perfect combination.

Cons

They have a strict and uncomfortable travel policy. The company is very conservative in daily behavior (like other conglomerates ?) and has a strong hierarchy. The compensation is more average than anything else. The office locations are somewhere in nowhere.

Pros

Good benefits, well known name for resume

Cons

Poor and sometimes diabolical local management, constant fear of layoff, salary freeze, almost non-existant raises or chances for promotion, little recognition if not in sales, doubling up on work, not replacing employees

Good company, but lousy place to work.

Pros

1. The benefits are quite good and reasonably priced. Not a lot of companies these days offer low cost benefits such as medical/dental/life insurance, etc. 2. The pay scale is not bad, though it could be much better given the amount of experience & competence required. 3. The company has been around for a long time and doesn't show any signs of going anywhere. Also something not common with a lot of companies these days in this horrible economy! 4. The amount of time off given per year is pretty decent, though that could also be more liberal in my opinion.

Cons

1. Most of the "management" has no clue what the people in the field experience on a day to day basis. 2. Too much emphasis on "ISO" certification and not enough emphasis on using common sense to resolve a problem. 3. Expectations of doing multiple jobs when it's impossible to do so, and absolutely no willingness on management's part to explore the possibilities of other options before implementing new "processes". 4. Too much emphasis on "numbers", without realization that data can be simply WRONG. 5. Unwillingness to compromise on policy when it's clearly demonstrated that policy doesn't work at all!
