Pros

The company has good benefits, HR department is good, it's a clean place to work, and has heat in the winter and AC in the summer.

Cons

I'm not disgruntled, these are just the hard realities about working there. They talk about a promote within company environment, but in reality they don't actually do this. The training (or lack of) and overall work structure leaves a lot to be desired (which leads to a lot of frustration). Administration and management are the smartest people in the building (just ask them). They don't seek out or take advice from the actual experts on the floor doing the work that could lead to more efficiency, cost cutting, and higher production. The last con is the amount of mandatory OT they require. They preach about a work/life balance and spending more time with your family, but then DEMAND you work endless OT. Most of the staff are overworked, burned out, and under appreciated, while the management has weekends off with their families. Management's problems are continually put on the shoulders of the employees.

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.
