Pros

I've been with the company for about 1.5 years and due to the economy we had the inevitable layoffs in December. Even though our plant was impacted several of the people that were on the list were actually reassigned to other positions instead of losing their jobs. They did a good job in trying to keep people around and I am grateful of that. I was able to keep my job and they were able to keep my knowledge.

Cons

The layoffs were a little bit scary and they did layoff people, but the impact wasn't as harsh as some thought. Training could be a little better.

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.
