We characterize products of balls -- expecially the ball and the polydisc -- in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) by properties of the isotropy group of a single point. It is shown that such a characterization is possible in the class of Siegel domains of the second kind, a class that extends the class of bounded homogeneous domains, and that such a characterization is no longer possible in the class of bounded domains with noncompact automorphism groups. The main result is that a Siegel domain of the second kind \(G\subset \mathbb{C}^n\) is biholomorphically equivalent to a product of balls, iff there is a point \(p \in G\) such that the isotropy group of \(p\) contains a torus of dimension \(n\). As an application it is proved that the only domains biholomorphically equivalent to a Siegel domain of the second kind and to a Reinhardt domain are exactly the domains biholomorphically equivalent to a product of balls.
