Siemens Employee Review

Lots of and politics

Journeyman Electrician (Former Employee) - Calgary - 27 July 2023

Worked at Siemens for 12 years. Some years where better than others. Depends on the manager/job. Was passed over when time came for advancement. Went on medical leave for 6 months. My Back to work schedule was denied and was at home for another month and half. Once my schedule approved. Did a back to work schedule. After 2 months of a reduce work load i was back to full time. That week I went back to full time hours. I was let go due to "restructuring". With no severance. Not even paid for the day. 12 years of service and they kick you out the door. If you choose to work for this company just be aware that it could easily happen to you.

Pros

Lots of learning, Different projects

Cons

No Work Life Balance, Office is unorganized, No issues about laying you off when they want.

They always had work, paid weekly

Journeyman Electrician (Current Employee) - Calgary, AB - 24 July 2012

They're great to work for. If they had a job for me in Lethbridge I'd take it. But you cant run a job site in Calgary if you live in Lethbridge

Pros

lots of work

Cons

big company disorganization

Good

Great pay, great team. Not for the faint hearted if you're scared of heights. Fantastic in a winter and summer dress accordingly. Work incentive. OT is good.

Excellent support with opportunity to grow

Electric Motor Systems Technician (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 16 November 2022

I entered this company at a lower level and after a few months they told me they liked my work ethic and offered me an apprenticeship. They treated me well while I was working there and really gave me a platform to grow and gain experience. They have a high standard of work and expect good results from you. So, expect to produce a high standard of work and you'll be fine. This was the golden era in my career as I've never worked for a giant like this before. If you can land a job here, consider yourself lucky.
