Pros

The domain of the smart grid.

Cons

You would rarely find so much of unprofessional and incapable senior folks in any IT product company. The managers of India lacks communication skills. Instead of improving upon the mistakes, they take pride in taking wrong steps. They are very good at politics and hiding information, telling different stories about an issue to different employees. When the managers cannot automatically get respect from the rest of employees, what would they do ? Neither the management trusts the employees, nor the employees trust the management. Never seen so much of politics in such a small company. May be the company wants it's employees to quit hence they are just silent on this issue.

Pros

If you are 40 y.o. +, than this place is just fine. Job is easy and responsibilities are limited.

Cons

I wanted more challenges from my job and more money. Siemens is a huge company where things move slowly, you find yourself to be a tiny fish in the ocean. What frustrates most is decisions made on the very top that affect the whole departments and nothing you can do about it. For example, company wants to save on office space and relocates everyone one day without asking employees opinion. Also company did a poor HR job, software engineers were hired just to fill positions ASAP. If you travel on business, you will get a cap on spending, no alcohol expense and mid-to-low end hotel, like La Quinta. These factors add to the general feel of cheapness of the company.

Pros

Very good work ethic and camaraderie between employees. Very professional and disciplined environment. You can immediately feel a sense of pride in the company and it's work.

Cons

Relatively low monetary rewards. As an intern, I received no stipend. However this wasn't an issue as I was merely in my 2nd year of study.
