... in other organizations. I must say, the situation at Siemens is very favorable. They compensate extra for on-call shifts, and if your shift falls in the evening, you receive additional pay. Moreover, there are no night shifts; instead, engineers in other time zones cover the night hours, which is a significant benefit. Additionally, the pay is better compared to my previous company. Other likes are- flexible timings, annual gifts, opportunities for skills development, and proper KT. In my previous organization, KT was lacking, and I was often put on on-call duty without adequate knowledge of the product.

Sometimes manager expects a lot . You do your role job ,apart from that they expect you to write articles on the product(just after 4 months of joining), give KT to juniors ,unnecessary meetings and trainings which are annoying.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation. My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.
