Siemens Employer Reviews

Worked at two different sites at Siemens. One site had an amazing team to work with. The second site had a disorganized mess in terms of management.

At Siemens you can shape a long term career in an specific field. The culture within the company promotes the expertise in the functions and wight much more experience than education.

Siemens had become too bureaucratic in their behavior creating more problems in managing sales and deployment. Although Siemens was an engineering company, the control of the business had shifted from engineering into the hands of financial managers. Result was excess use of financial control which badly affected project execution. Inter-regional conflicts – more... were also there.

This all resulted in Siemens lacking behind in technology transitions and finally were sold out to Nokia to become Nokia Siemens Networks. – less

The day at siemens starts with fun , the work was a team work and nagament was full supportive . Smart work is always appreciated and awarded.

Co workers very helpfull some team effort required but mostly on your own so need good troubleshooting skills.

I learned a lots and I am ready to learn more. I get along with the management and co-workers. The hardest part of the job when they put you somewhere you didn't do that type of job before without training. The most enjoyable part of the job is to work together.

I learned:
Structured Control Language, SCL, of Siemens
Using system function blocks like PID controller, Pulse generator, and intrupts.
SCADA WIncc HMI programming

blue collar employees great to work with - some management was difficult

Not a bad place to work, sometimes challenging and exciting opportunities, projects, tasks available for employees with some initiitive. Good wages and a nice office enviroment. I made a lot of friends and enjoyed my job most days. Unfortunately being a foreign owned company the work was pulled out of Hamilton and moved to the US. and the Hamilton plant – more... shutdown. Somewhat top heavy with Management types who weren't always in tune with the rank and file employees. – less

working for Siemens as a contractor for last 10 years. Its always been good.

in 37 yrs. i was only laid off twice due to lack of work friendly and helpful co-workers,knowledgable and cooperative management

Easy place to work but poor job satisfaction.Bad management, including supervision back biting,and lack of discipline created disrespect and mistrust between worker and management.

I liked working for Siemens, i am only wanting to leave and look for new work because i feel i need to learn more electrical at my level of apprenticeship. The management on the other hand was very poor, in regards to having material on site when needed and job explanation and management. A typical day at work would be to just show up on time and you – more... would be told then what you where going to do.. if there was anything. My first year there i did allot of bending pipe and pulling wire, along with terminations. Nothing was ever hard about the job besides baring the heat at the bow some days. The most enjoyable part of the day would just be working with great co-workers. only real negative thing is the teaching of things was poor. – less

My time with Siemens was very positive. I worked with a great team. It was an exciting time prior to the Olympics but then the economic down trend began with mass layoffs. However, it was an experience that I wouldn't change for anything.

i do cleaning at night time, so not much people around during those time, security are good they keep observing and checking out the place as i observed.

boring and frustrating, and hard to get ahold of HR. The corporation does not seem to value employees. It seems that we are all expendable. The hardest part of the job is likeing the job.

walk around in work hop to identify potential process improvement opportunity; executed preventative maintenance plan.

Production supervisor overseeing manufacturing, machining, welding, and quaility assurance.
Working well with other and co-workers is very important.
Management is an important role in any company.Overtime is good, however too many hours can get tiring.
Meeting daily requirement and earning respect from co-workers.

You will find this division a tough one if you don't have eyes in the back of your head for back-stabbers. Also, watch out for the daggers that may come your way. Great company on paper but lots of internal problems. Depts very inward looking. Managers do not encourage advancement.
