Pros

There we no "pros" attached to working for this bullying thug of corporate mess. Take my sincerest advice and don't look for work here.

Cons

Long (unpaid) working hours - 60 - 70 hrs a week being the expected norm (paid for 37) No support nor even understanding of nature and complexity of work from management with zero engineering capability (being wholly sales focussed). Entrenched culture of employee expendability Very poor engineering capability (verging on dangerous incompetence) Heavily reliant on cheap (desperate?) migrant labour from EU and Asian Subcontinent

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.
