Pros

It is fairly easy to move laterally within company and change positions

Cons

Management is tone deaf. Pay is much lower than competition. Management keeps the compensation low by abusing H1-B1. Also, the "good ole boys club" mentality rules in Schneider, if you know what I mean. I highly recommend employees (specially engineers) to stay away. I can leave as well and have considered it but I enjoy the type of work I do and the relationship with my customers. But Schneider and their management is simply not worth it.

Pros

Great people, meaningful work, and strong opportunities for professional growth. As a large global company, Schneider Electric offers extensive resources, exposure to diverse projects, and the flexibility to explore different teams and career paths across the organization.

Cons

Bureaucratic processes can make it difficult to move quickly. Some HR policies feel unnecessarily restrictive and are not always clearly communicated during the hiring process. Referral bonuses are forfeited if an employee leaves before the payout date, even if the referral was successfully hired. Limited office presence in major U.S. hubs such as New York and San Francisco, and few options for part-time or reduced-hour work arrangements.
