Pros

I honestly sat and thought about this to be unbiased and always document some 'pros' as there should at least be something positive to document. I could not come up with any.

Cons

Where do I start. I have read the reviews above especially the feedback from Schneider telling employees to go to HR with their concerns, HR is not Confidential and does more damage. Train HR and Management or eliminate the damage and bring in new. The good ole boys network must dissipate. Smoking the 'green', erratic behavior is all an embarrassment that everyone notices but Schneiders senior Executives that tell our customers and Partners you turn your heads and do not care. Talent has left to our competitors, customers have gone to those who have left and the oblivious eyes are doing what? You have potential if you take the blinders off and take a good look around. Hello France - take a look at the US.

Schneider Electric Response

We are disappointed to hear about your experience. At Schneider Electric, being open is one of our core values. We encourage transparency and most importantly ethical behavior from everyone, everywhere. Schneider Electric has clearly defined Principles of Responsibility, which outline the legal and ethical principles that must guide all of us in our work. Every employee is required to learn about and adhere to this set of principles. These principles are driven by three fundamentals: laws, ethics, and social responsibility. We have a system in place that encourages employees to speak up without repercussions to their manager, human resources or other internal functions such as finance or legal. If any employee wants to escalate a concern, we encourage them to use our R&ED (Ethics) Line, which is a 100% confidential, 3rd party neutral reporting system. All reports are investigated and corrective actions are implemented. No employee, whatever their position, has the authority to order, request or even influence another employee to violate our Principles of Responsibility. Employees can access the Principles of Responsibility and the R&ED Line by visiting ‘Our Commitments’ in the ‘Our Strategy’ section of the global intranet. We expect all our employees, regardless of their level in the organization, to demonstrate ethical leadership behaviors every day. This is our commitment and a critical element to our culture. Thank you for sharing your review. With individuals like you who are open about feedback, we will make positive changes for everyone.

Pros

6% 401K match, no vesting period

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.
