Schneider Electric reviews

- bullying culture - not matching skills of employees to job. - Since some of the old management left/retired and site has been completely taken over by Laurent and his minions, quality of employement drastically dropped. - Many people started suffering on mental health, therefore affected their physical health. - Management accepts more orders than they can possibly produce and then makes is operators problem. - Constant lack of tools to work with and what is more important material. The downtime for lack of material is ridicilous. - Pressured to do overtime - if your skills do not match the job you're supposed to do, if you request move, they won't. They will bully you and put even more pressure on until you do it yourself. - Higher level of management started to hire for nice managerial roles their acquaintances. - There is a ban on using radio anywhere on shopfloor, so long day 10 hour shift drags more than it should (plus overtime) - they have this 50% of staff to be female, which means you might have the best skills and still not get hired, only because you are a man (before anyone jumps in and says review has been written by bitter man, it is written by female who saw it all happen/heard about it all happen first hand) - they say they are diverse, but as soon as your disabilities might affect your work, they will put more pressure on you (circle back to bully culture). - if you need help from HR - this department is a joke - no help or support, don't know what do they get paid for. Right now morales are at the lowest, do not come here. If you want to come here, wait 2 years when management changes - as is it standard procedure of Schneider.

I worked here for over 10 years and saw the reality of how this company treats employees. This is especially true for women and mothers/primary care givers. I was part of a team that went from multiple parents, to only employees that are childless. Recently they even terminated a high performing pregnant woman. A company that terminates pregnant women is not one I would recommend. The culture has become a place where people look out for themselves and leadership isn’t afraid to throw people under the bus to ensure they are promoted. The HR organization truly lacks personal touch and sees employees as numbers. They promote people based on relationships and not on performance. Additionally, this is a French company that treats the U.S. as their personal whipping boy. Anytime Europe or Asia struggles financially the U.S. pays for it, even if the U.S. is exceeding their targets/numbers. Almost every year there is a RIF in the U.S. no matter how successful the year has been in order to make up for other countries. You are constantly on edge about job stability and your performance does not dictate whether or not you will still have a job.
