Pros

Good benefits (401k, health insurance, etc) Lots of international opportunities High internal mobility Potential for good learning experiences if you self teach

Cons

Limited employee development, lots of self-learning Highly disorganized and fragmented internal structure Poor financial system integration High turnover Poor work/life balance Less-than-competitive pay Homogeneous upper management Lots of red tape Lots of ad-hoc work Lack of internal processes, everything is a fire drill Reactive as opposed to proactive, resistant to change Low employee morale at the analyst level

Schneider Electric Response

Thank you for your review. We strive to provide employees with competitive compensation and benefits. Schneider Electric also focuses on providing internal opportunities for our employees, and building our internal talent through experience, exposure, and education. We want all employees to have a great work/life balance, and our newly launched North America family leave policy was redesigned with our employee needs in mind. We believe policies like this will lead us to be a more inclusive and diverse company and ultimately, a better long-term home for our employees. We are a large organization but we're focused on improving communication and collaboration so that we can remove any unnecessary hurdles and get things done quickly. Thank you for your honest feedback.

Pros

- Decent pay and good benefits - work truck with gas card -good experience

Cons

- management is disconnected from field employees - review process does not reflect employee performance since managers do not go out in field in order to properly assess job performance - poor communication which leads to chaotic project implementation - no standardization of necessary info for each customer site. You walk in completely blind each time you visit a customer you’ve never been to - safety is important, but corporate pushes redundant messaging so frequently i believe it has the opposite of the intended effect - forced to wear long sleeves FR shirts in hot weather even when you are not exposed to fire hazards any more than a standard office employee
