Schneider Electric reviews

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.

- Management is completely incompetent - If a person is of diverse background and unqualified they will be hired over a qualified person who is not from a diverse background. - Products are complete and utter trash - Management lies about everything (its called the Schneider Spin) - People who work hard get ridden as people who do nothing continue to do nothing. - They are so afraid of losing more employees that if a person doesn't do their job, instead of being reprimanded they are incentivized with a potential promotion. - Leadership is spineless. - Each department within the company is like a completely different company. They will not help you, they will treat you worse than an outside customer.
