Pros

Working with Schneider Electric is certainly an experience! A French international company is very international and less French, while being obsessed with a few things: customers, energy efficiency and their people. Management and processes serve the above and in general it is an honest company both inwards and outwards. I particularly appreciate the simpleness of communication in all levels and the flexibility and easiness to move around positions, countries, organisations - always a running stone that never gets grass on it! The company really cares for the development of their employees and executive managers are aware of the actuall business and not demigods.

Cons

Life is stressed in SE as processes are complex and a lot of them, almost for anything! The organization is overmuch too lean, so most managers are overburdened by many different tasks. People are stressed and some escape to other companies with better pay and living balance.

Cons

This used to be a people-focused, high values company with integrity. Today it is prioritizing short-term financial targets at the direct expense of the employees. The business is profitable, but leadership is demanding that’s it’s not profitable ENOUGH (for the rich people). Employees have become numbers on a spreadsheet. Over the past year, the shift has been especially noticeable in the U.S.: * Return-to-office mandate (2–3 days per week), including employees hired as remote. This includes Big Brother like badge tracking and monthly attendance reporting. * Only one month’s notice that unused PTO would no longer carry over. Use it or lose it. * Elimination of the employee recognition financial rewards program. * Layoffs every six months, creating ongoing uncertainty. * Incentives for long-tenure (old) employees to resign. If you’re considering joining, go in with realistic expectations. The company still has talented people and good products, but the employee experience is no longer what it was. Job security, flexibility, and employee goodwill no longer feel like priorities.
