Pros

Management have no idea how your job is done. Therefore as long as you don't give them earache they leave you alone. Dont question why they keep messing things up. Even better, become one of the 'yes' men and get instant promotion! You even get to name your own job title. And if that doesn't work you can then change your title again! A fun and easy place to work if you are the brown nose type.

Cons

No direction, management have no idea how to run a department and just want a quiet life. Salary is not the same amongst employees of the same role. It's well known that new employees are coming in on more money, so very good if you join up but don't expect the old hands to share your joy when pay day comes.

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.
