Siemens

Due to a severe reduction in new Siemens power generation projects my ongoing workload will be reduced to 2 - 3 days per week.

Warranty Defect resolution with vendors includes project management and often direct site management incorporating the significant Occupational, Health & Safety processes between the clients and various subcontractors to implement corrective actions. 

Work with clients involves defect documentation management, technical troubleshooting and resolution. Significant reporting of technical and commercial contract issues is an essential component of the role with Siemens management and subcontractors, in various areas of the world.

This warranty role involves significant interaction with Siemens Europe project management personnel, designers, commercial personnel, and the Siemens IT department to resolve a significant number of Warranty technical issues involving all aspects of the Power Stations. 

The work with Siemens vendors includes significant contractual and commercial interaction as well as technical fault / defect analysis, negotiation and resolution. A major challenge with defect rectification is access to equipment / systems on continuously operating Power Stations / Transmission lines.

Work was for Telstra as a sub contractor. the work was interesting and challenging and rewarding. no two days were ever the same. I enjoyed the nature of the work  and the people I worked with .I learnt alot of new things and various ways of performing daily activities. I developed as an individual and a team member in the environment. There were many difficult aspects of the job, quite often working with reduced resources while still adhering to KPIs and SLAs and following processes and procedures exactly; these tasks helped tp improve my time management skills and overall throughput and efficiency.As job became more difficult i became more focused and target oriented and learned to undertake and complete tasks quicker and more efficiently.The most enjoyable part of the job was that it was challenging and that the people worked together to help each other, colleagues willingly passed on their knowledge and were empathetic to their colleagues.

I had three different positions with Siemens. Commencing with Sales Order Clerk, Client Services Manager and then Materials Planner. I enjoyed all three positions. Learned three different computer systems. Distrib, Navision & SAP. On the integration teams for Navision and SAP. Co-workers were friendly and fun to get on with. Management very caring and helpful. 
Sales order clerk - Bio-Mediq
Entering of orders into system. Liaising with warehouse. Stocktakes. Dealing with customers over the phone. Assisting company consultants with order/availability of stock enquiries.
Client Services manager - Bio Mediq
Purchasing of stock from overseas. Los Angeles and Wales. Import/Export Documentation. Overseeing four staff members. Stocktakes. Organising transport, air/road.
Materials Planner
Similar to Client services manager position. Siemens took over Bio-Mediq and my role slightly changed.

If you enjoy being bullied and told you bring nothing to an organisation, working additional hours with no pay them this is the place for you! But it doesn't end there. They employ you as a contractor and make you feel like you need to keep your mouth shut out you will be out of a job. Then when you complain to HR and get told "we encourage you to speak up" about abusive behavior from management, they then tell you you're services are no longer required. It's a vile place to work and would encourage you to look elsewhere for an employer who actually lives by the ideals they spout. 

Each day was challenging and fast passed.  I learnt that it was rewarding meeting deadlines and customer satisfaction.  Management where very understanding and willing to listen to any improvements that were suggested and were very encouraging to let us have our say. The hardest part of the job I would say was watching my colleges at times become very stressed and tired as the work load was very intense and busy on occasions.  The most enjoying times were the team and Management having a laugh to lighten the stressful days.

This company (specifically in my Division), Management projects a very negative image to the staff. One of the examples is the Management staff seconded from Germany to Australia constantly speak in German among the German staff in the office. This makes other non German speaking staff feel left out.

On the other hand, this company does encourage the staff to continuously improve our skills by providing on line web base training. 

Overall this company is not a great place to work with

Management walked around like they are kings of a very small palace, employees think they are engineers when they are just assemblers. Know it alls with no life outside of work. No speaking on the factory floor and permanents have no time for talk with casuals. Overall just a static place to work and grow old with no benefits and monthly wages. Good luck with the dwindling old crew. But the upside is I scored a supervisor job that paid more from being let go so… thanks siemans

I enjoy the team i work with and support through administration. Our CEO although very busy, is also very approachable and interested in staff. We have a gym onsite, coffee machines and also a table tennis table. The company take very good care of its staff. I love being involved with a company that is focused on improving the environment by providing technology based solutions.

Pros
+ Great salary package.
+ Very nice and humble people to work with.
+ Work life balance.
+ Plenty of training is provided.

Cons
- I worked for Siemens BT (Building Technology) and they were still working on a product they created two decades ago. Out dated and dying out fast.
- Siemens BT head quarter (Zurich) treats low and look down upon Sydney team. 
- Siemens BT sold their hardware department and headquarter is not happy of Sydney team and thus constantly creates obstacles for them.

Siemens provided the ability to work remotely and autonomously. Hardest part of the job was the delay in obtaining orders from customers due to project delays. Most enjoyable part of the job was being able to deliver customer orders on or ahead of schedule. The workplace culture and management were very supportive to their employees from both a work and personal perspective.
