The 11 largest medtech employers of 2019 – and what their employees really think

September 10, 2019 By Danielle Kirsh

6 (tied). Siemens Healthineers

Number of employees: 50,000
Big 100 revenue ranking: 6
Glassdoor rating: 3.9/5
80% would recommend to a friend.

Siemens Healthineers touts itself has developing innovations that supply better patient outcomes. It says its employees seek new paths and put their hearts into healthcare.

Here’s what current and former employees have to say on Glassdoor:

“Pros: Seems more laid back atmosphere compared to other … competitors; PTO; awesome benefits; 401k match; family-first; very decent salary; high commission payouts for surpassing quota; knowledgable managers; work hard, play hard mentality; nice company car; schedule flexibility; not micromanaged as long as you’re producing; products usually sell themselves; global presence. Cons: Re-organizations; somewhat high turnover rate; internal processes cumbersome; too many hands in the pot at certain times; CRM tool not the best; constant role changes to sales support; resources always available for help, but difficulty finding the correct person in a sea of employees; frequent process changes just as you adapt to the last change; generous PTO that seems like everyone is always on vacation or out of the office.” —Current employee

“Pros: Highly professional; extremely customer-focused; extremely quality-focused. Cons: Demanding in a good way; you will work hard, occasionally for prolonged periods.” —Current employee

“Pros: Big company with big company resources; laid back and comfortable place to work; coworkers were generally super nice people; cutting edge research and work in some fields. Cons: Not too exciting compared to other tech companies; feels like working at a big tech company circa 1970s; management’s Teutonic cultural proclivities sometimes trickles down and shows through (not really a con – sometimes was funny and charming).” —Former employee

“Pros: Compensation; hours are minimal; great vacation time. Cons: Not a lot of great R&D managers to work for; no chance to work remotely; promotions are rare.” —Current employee

“Pros: The work you do has the potential to make a big impact; in general, has very good people that want to do the right thing for the company and other colleagues; the world within Siemens is huge and you can go almost anywhere and do almost anything. Cons: Lots of red tape, processes, signatures; your time is consumed by firefighting or meetings, very little opportunity to make real progress or innovate; unless you’re in a dedicated program, long-term professional development/career planning is often forgotten.” —Former employee

“Pros: Healthy work-life balance; friendly and collaborative coworkers; respectful environment; opportunities to improve patient lives; steady pay from a reliable company with a solid reputation. Cons: Payment is below market rate (particularly for the Bay Area); institutional barriers to innovation and flexibility; low morale; high turnover; occasional toxic interactions (rare, but acute and poorly addressed); questionable decisions by upper management; employee feedback seems to fall on deaf ears.” —Former employee
