Cons

So far none that I can say

Pros

Opportunity to do internal transfers.

Cons

Working in small region visibility may not be there

Pros

It can be a springboard in your career to other companies/positions as Siemens is a brand name. Certain products are well known in the industry and they have become market leaders with specific products.

Cons

The compliance processes impedes business and does not allow for any nimbleness or quick decisions. The company is run by finance and getting anything signed off takes weeks (if not months) even when it's been budgeted and planned. Management is more interested in hanging employees out to dry to cover themselves than to stand up for their teams. There is constant reorganization with no understanding or competence for long term strategy or business development. Unrealistic growth targets given by senior management regardless of market conditions. Many of the senior management have been grandfathered or transferred from other roles and have no experience in people management or in the business segment.

Pros

Work life balance can be managed well

Cons

1) Company adopted product culture recently. Existing employees who have never been product managers were made product managers. Lack of Product culture. 2) Extremely poor product environment. You'll mostly work under an engineering manager and will have to do their bidding instead of concentrating on product work 3) Bangalore and US team have different leaderships. You might be working on the same project/product but there is a lack of communication between the two. Your counterpart in the same role in US will have different job responsibilities while you will mostly be doing menial operations/follow up work. 4) You will have almost no exposure to UX, sales, market research etc 5) Pay is not upto mark and talent retention is abysmal.

Pros

The people I worked with were, really and truly, fantastic. They deeply cared about the VA EHRM mission and wanted the best for America's veterans.

Cons

Cerner came in with an offer far and away below market rate for a tech editor in the DC area, the organization itself was poorly managed and terribly organized, the office was simultaneously so crowded I did not have a desk and yet so slow I frequently had nothing to do, and did not offer any additional career mobility. I'm glad I got out fast.

Pros

Good company to work for, really the best work culture, good benefits, flexibility

Cons

Cerner appraisals were good, since the acquisition happened by oracle we are not sure what is coming. For now there have been news of layoffs etc. So as of now in 2023 situation seems dicey. But the company as Cerner was really the best.

Pros

Good place to tune your mindset from a student to a working professional. Amazing work culture. Will get due recognition for your efforts. Highly encouraging team.

Cons

Highly non-technical and work is highly specific within the company and so experience may not count when looking outside for opportunities. Appraisals have frozen for the time being after merger with Oracle. Year-on-year growth percentage is low (5%).
