Blade Manufacturing Lead (Former Employee) – Tillsonburg, ON – 6 June 2018
Not the worst place to work, but not the best!
Amazing when it first started out but as temp's came in the place started to become less enjoyable.
Work was good, but the staff and leadership rolls needed serious development.

Big Company so learning is slow

Siemens is a brand name. However the company is so big that the work is limited to your responsibilities. If you want to learn something new then its difficult to get the right opportunities.
Pros
brand name
Cons
very less learning

productive and fun, co - workers are very supportive and the supervisor, and my manager thanks a lot. a typical day at work usually 12 hours a day, four days on and four days off, from 5 am to 5:30 pm, two shifts.

relaxed and constructive
CFD Intern (Current Employee) – Montréal, QC – 24 February 2018
as an intern i got to learn a lot. my supervisor was helpful, active and always smiling. I do feel that I could have learnt more while working there if my project had more responsibilities.
Awful place to work
Jr. Business Administrator CS LD (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 29 January 2018
Management was a bully. No help from HR. The culture is complacent No advancement opportunity. The position I filled was filled by 7 people in 5 years and has not been filled presently. The work was manageable and easy to learn. Work load is a good mix of skills so you learn a lot.
Pros
Learn good skills
Cons
awful work culture. Poor HR
Siemens
Production Supervisor (Former Employee) – London, ON – 28 January 2018
Siemens was the best company I have ever worked for. Extreamly organized and very well managed. The company treated its employees good and there was really no need for a Union. When the plant closed Management was dissolved and German people were brought to Canada to close the plant.
It was a sad day and Germans do not understand our Unionized system of Millwrights and Electricians.. its much different over there.
