Pros

decent pay, decent benefits, opportunities to move within the company.

Cons

I cannot get into more details for fear of repercussions, but I feel horrible for any new hires into HR services. This is THE most poisonous environment I've encountered in my life so far Key points: - anti-intellectualism - any issue gets assigned an (often innocent) scapegoat to blame - frequent, habitual gaslighting to instill self-doubt and keep you "in your lane" - steady steam of discriminatory remarks against different ages, weights, skin colours, cultural foods, neurodiversity, and more - you won't survive if you have a work ethic. very little work gets done and they do NOT like it if you are efficient and effective - micromanaging. bizarrely demeaning micromanaging - everyone likes a little gossip sometimes, but negative rumours are the core currency of the department - you'll be forced to break key policies and procedures or face discipline, so that they always have ammunition to fire you if you get on the bad side of someone with power - and so much more.

Pros

Great people, meaningful work, and strong opportunities for professional growth. As a large global company, Schneider Electric offers extensive resources, exposure to diverse projects, and the flexibility to explore different teams and career paths across the organization.

Cons

Bureaucratic processes can make it difficult to move quickly. Some HR policies feel unnecessarily restrictive and are not always clearly communicated during the hiring process. Referral bonuses are forfeited if an employee leaves before the payout date, even if the referral was successfully hired. Limited office presence in major U.S. hubs such as New York and San Francisco, and few options for part-time or reduced-hour work arrangements.
