Pros
Can be a good place to gain some experience. Compensation and benefits can be better than the competition in mature markets.
Cons
Organization is biased in favor of young white, northern European males, particularly those from Finland and to a lessor degree from Germany. Job requirements as well as performance measures are not applied to this group. Likewise product development is very Euro-centric, presenting problems for implementation elsewhere. There is almost no real skill in services management. Project and program management are extremely immature. Few standard objective measures set by management. There has been a criminal investigation of corruption and wrong doing in the ex-Siemens operations. There continue to be struggles with anti-corruption and ethics. It is a company of administrators, not leaders.
