Pros

Great benefits and 401k matching; great people to work with (at equal levels); company does well enough financially, even in midst of economic downturn, love to supply its employees with shirts; pay is not exactly competitive but not the worst, plenty of opportunities to be involved in the community.

Cons

No clear guidance when looking to advance in the company; extreme amount of office politics involved; preferential treatment given to particular groups, especially sales office; pay not nationally competitive, workload to employee ratio could be better; feeling that upper management (VPs, Managers, etc.) is disconnected from rest of company, no understanding of what its employees really do.

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.
