Heavily political, mediocre product offering - Sales Manager Schneider Electric Employee Review

Way behind on product development, and when they DO release anything new, their launch is subpar and poorly involves the sales force. Organization is VERY political and even admits to being so. If you are a high performer, hitting all metrics, even blowing out your revenue number- you will be given a poor review if you fail to network with the right directors and establish a politically strong image. Make the right friends, you'll move right up. Laughable "He for She" initiative. I've addressed my own salary inequity head-on, as I made 8-10% less than my male counterparts that had significantly less career experience. I was told I needed to "sell" my manager on why I should receive a salary adjustment. Only a matter of time before the old guard of APC is kicked out. APC is a cash cow, and the boys club is getting paid way too much to be running a cash cow organization. Schneider has given them more than enough time- they will step in and slash operating expenses, as they should.
