Pros

The only good things about pelco are the engineering teams. Lots of talented people but due to poor management their talents are being wasted/taken for granted. Sad to see their jobs get outsourced.

Cons

Too many cons to count after Schneider acquired pelco. The executives they put in charge of pelco namely herve fages are utterly worthless. There were tons of layoffs and that little man always said he saw layoffs as a personal failure. When will he fall on his sword for constant failure? He should be fired and deported. I wouldn't trust him with a dirty napkin. Most, not all, of management are also worthless there, their constant failures result in longtime employees getting laid off or leaving due to no confidence. The way things look now pelco won't be around in the next couple of years thanks to Schneider and their idiots they placed at pelco. They deserve to go fade into oblivion and good riddance to them!

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.
