Pros

Safety is the main concern for this company. You will have more than enough training to do your job safely. Schneider Electric is a global company with locations all over the globe.

Cons

Even with great performance reviews and being a top notch employee you will not see yearly raises. You will fear losing your job most of the time and watch great employees shown the door as jobs leave your country for cheaper wages. The customer will be the big losers as a great company SQUARE D is dissolved by Schneider Electric. Schneider Electric does not have any innovation or R&D they just buy up companies right and left.

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.
