Pros

Large, global organisation with a strong mission statement and potential to do great things.

Cons

Bureaucratic, slow and highly relationship driven. Eager to transform but with a core culture based on employees who have been there a long time and are less able/willing to change. Hierarchical and strong focus on managing upwards rather than down in the organisation in order to succeed (or be seen as such). To make an impact and progress career wise it requires building personal relationships with an "inner circle" of people who are not overly inclusive.

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.
