Great role, but serious concerns regarding discrimination and racism
Pros
Interesting and meaningful work with opportunities to develop professionally. Exposure to international projects. Good learning environment in terms of business consulting and client interaction.
Cons
1- I experienced serious discrimination and racism within my team, notably from my manager and these concerns were not adequately addressed when raised. This had a serious impact on my overall experience. While I believe this does not reflect all Siemens employees, the company must take stronger action to ensure a respectful, inclusive, and accountable workplace, as such issues have absolutely no place in Canada. 2- I also experienced abuse of authority from my manager, including being told not to contact HR without prior approval, even for highly confidential matters. Again, please note this was my personal experience with my manager, and I genuinely believe it does not represent all Siemens managers. 3- I was only provided with the bare minimum tools (computer and phone), with no laptop bag or headphones. I was initially asked to use my personal headphones for work despite the high number of virtual meetings with clients and colleagues. I do not believe this reflects a global Siemens policy, but rather relates to the management issues mentioned above.
