Pros

- number of annual leaves is higher than most companies - investing in their WESOP option is highly beneficial

Cons

In my 4 years, I've worked in a few teams, in GSC (manufacturing plant) and in Digital (AI HUB). And the short review is, if you get a job in either of these, decline NOW. My 3 years in the GSC manufacturing plant were HORRIBLE with 6 day working (which nobody informed us prior to joining as GETs).. FULL of misogynistic employees who will not cooperate in anything, and who are verbally abusive.. I moved to Digital thinking it would be far more progressive, being IT and all. Management here was also very bad, either indifferent to concerns, or straight up unwilling to listen to them using quotes like "my way or the highway". Teams will spend hours on giving KTs without passing any useful information, will force everyone to give SOME output, not the RIGHT output, within ridiculously unrealistic timelines. I am writing this as I am in my notice period, but even these 3 months I am not able to handle the burnout this company has caused. Don't even think of reaching out to HR for your issues. They will only reply if you have something beneficial to give them. Nobody is there to assist you with any HR issues. I reached out to them myself multiple times before finally saying I need an early release due to my failing mental health and I was seenzoned.

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.
