Pros

You get what you put in... You can have a great career if all you do is work.

Cons

While they have a good employer value proposition, it is all lip service. SE wants to compete with tech companies or utilize the automotive companies' manufacturing principles and philosophies but don't want to pay for that type of work. Year over year the benefits package gets less competitive. Every year at the end of the year there are layoffs conducted in the shadows so they don't get any bad PR. These layoffs are a result of short-termism plaguing the supply chain organization. Those that stay need to carry on with even more responsibilities and expectations to do it all.

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.
