Pros
I joined as a Graduate Engineer Trainee and spent good amount of time in Schneider Electric Bangalore center, seeing its transformation from GTCI to Innovare one R&D Campus. I think pros depends on teams as well but here are few : 1.Complete autonomy as a developer to set up processes and tools you want to use. 2. Opportunity to travel abroad, depends on projects though but most of them have it.Most of of GET Batch mates had traveled multiple times for 2-3 months to Europe and USA within first 2 years of our careers.Many people get opportunity to travel for long term which is generally 2-3 years. 3.Work life balance. 4. Good learning culture, allowing you to learn and improve on the job.
Cons
I think the biggest con, which was not there in the earlier years, is the Salary. It is way too low as compared to market standards. It has worsened a lot now. I do not know what is the reason for this decline, but i feel lot of good people have left Schneider because of this. I know of lots of people(including me) who have doubled their salaries within 1 years of leaving Schneider. Tells a lot about quality of people that were hired and made to leave due to salary disparity. I was reading in news that Schneider reported 28% loss and in 2016, my ex team mates told me that they got only 40-50% of their bonus. Not a good sign for the company.
