Vantaggi
The support for good work / life balance is fantastic. While there is a lot of work to be done and at times the hours are long they are also very flexible. Some times you work long hard hours, other times not so much. They provide a lot of opportunity for learning. I enjoy working with customers and colleagues.
Svantaggi
The recent layoffs and financial problems have made it difficult to focus on delivering value. There is a lot of uncertainty and people are waiting for clarification on the company's future direction and structure. The organizational structure is such that everyone is forced to focus on individual application silos. It is difficult to do something that benefits the company as a whole if it doesn't advance your silo's agenda The company is very large, it is hard to understand the entire portfolio. Nobody can explain the entire healthcare experience and how Siemens products fit into that experience across the entire suite, especially if you cross the former operating company boundaries. Sales sometimes sells "concepts" that do not exist as products - not a problem unique to Siemens.
