Pros

Reputation: you definately can see, that most people are still "proud" to work with Siemens (especially in the global headquarter), although there is a lot of discussions about "how good the old times were". Professionalism, leading to a very good reference for further jobs. Also interesting work, you felt doing something meaningful, although just working as an intern.

Cons

bureaucracy, politics, salaray for interns rather low. Often there has been a lack of transparency, what other departments are doing, resulting in 2 departments doing almost the same projects tasks. Besides: also quite a lot of restructring, changes and shifting responsibilities from one department to the other.

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.
