Pros

Brand recognition, an in with industry leaders, easy to connect with others from industry

Cons

No middle management opportunities, put in your 20 years, make the right friends and then you finally get your opportunity; very "old boys club" and as a company and leadership not open to trying new things. The German influence is great with lots of red tape to get things done - projects and development move very slowly putting the business behind competitors in the industry, pay is much lower than the rest of the industry and morale is low.

Pros

- ops treats their technicians good. understanding. lenient. ask for work or OT and you shall receive - Its okay to ask for PTO, they understand your a human being. - siemens have their own training center for basic and advanced training. - work van, paid gas and maintenance, phone and laptop - helpful tip: all automation companies are dumpster fires when it comes to projects. submittals/ engineering will be messed up, programming will be messed up, customer will be unhappy to hear about it and it halting progress.... but thats honestly the job you get paid to do is to fix it all. so if you are okay instantly combusting into flames and say "this is fine" you be okay. if not then not the right industry for you. -comparing to other automation companies siemens has been the best for me

Cons

- management being beat down by big siemens pending on project status, which means for work and stress for you on the bottom to keep on track with projects. - not enough experienced technicians to share the knowledge. you will have to learn by yourself and then help others learn. some people can do it, others cant.
