SIEMENS ENERGY Employer Reviews

Management is extremely slow to move on things and often does not communicate well to lower level staff.

Laid back atmosphere left alone on second shift I put my headphones in and crush cycle times all night every night

It is a slow paces job, an most management are a people person.
Most of us is hard worker and dont mind helping each other.
We dont have no hard part on the job.
When finish i ve product that build for that day.

As a result of the Production Tax credit not getting signed in a timely manner due to elections, Siemens wind energy was forced into laying off huge numbers because there were no contracts for wind turbine farms for 2013 in the U.S. They offered an attractive layoff package. However, I was terminated instead of being laid off so they could avoid offering – more... me what I should have had coming as well as unemployment. I had successfully completed my last project and was stranded in Iowa where they had put me with no transportation, no internet, and limited phone service. I had to take my computer into town 25 minutes away to check my e-mail and I did so every chance I got every few days. They terminated me for "no call/ no show" even though I was keeping up with my e-mails at a reasonable level. Based on what I had seen from management over the past 4 years and 8 months I can't honestly say I was surprised. Although the company is large and may have a very sturdy foundation, the wind division is a confused, unorganized quagmire. – less

Good project. Travel to Berlin was great. A lot of hours flying.

I work in the control room every day either operating the plant or training someone. I am the HRSG system owner. I schedule all maintenance activities for outages and contractors.

Setting up Machine, making parts. Nice co worker. Management was ok.

It was a very good place to work everyday I had new challenges in which I had to be able to resolve problems.

I've learned so much since I started at Siemens. I'm incredibly thankful that I've had the opportunity to work with such a great company.

My supervisors really care about their employees!!! I like what I do and find it very challenging. The only problem is that there isn't much room for advancement. They have competitive wagess and plenty of overtime.

It's a great place to work, but there is not enough room for advancement.

great company to work for. great teamwork within field service. excellent benefits and perks.

Great job. Too much off time during the summer. Benefits are good, but advancement is not congruent with knowledge or skill set.

Where else can you design Steam Turbine hardware in Florida? What a great and challenging job. I became a much better engineer from my experience at Siemens Energy.

If I was just graduating from college and started on the bottom, I could have written my own paycheck. Unfortunately, My specialization is in Gov't Accounting, Audit, & Compliance. With one percent Gov't work and ninety nine percent commercial work, I was glad I lasted seven years.

Siemens gave me a chance and they treated me as an employee and not a contract employee. We had monthly birthday parties and just a good time working together. We made sure if someone was behind that we would help in any way to get caught up.

There were no typical days.we were on the road for months

I learn what teamwork with the field and office should not be
The management team could have been more available
My co worker became like family, and we still stay in touch
The hardest part of the job was going 60 feet in the air to work
The most enjoyable was the travel with my co workers
