Pros

Refers to Siemens Building Technologies in Buffalo Grove, IL: Before Sep. 2017, this was a pretty good place to work. The people made it worthwhile. The technical work was about average in difficulty and interest, but the work atmosphere was great, as seen by the very low turnover rate. Since Sep. 2017, the software department has moved to Chicago, and reports are that the culture has changed.

Cons

Refers to Siemens Building Technologies in Buffalo Grove, IL: Before Sep. 2017, the salaries were only average or slight below average. New and interesting work was often not shared around but restricted to a few. The legacy systems were old technology. Even the newer systems used somewhat dated technology. Time to take training for career development was hard to come by.

Pros

Great company and coworkers. People are very nice and friendly and the CEC is a nice place to work and the role has flexible hours.

Cons

There is a lot of work to be done so there's a lot of stress that comes with the role. There are times where you will have to work over 40 hours a week. Seems like work-life balance is not prioritized.
