Schneider Electric Employee Reviews & Ratings

Quality and general management is dysfunctional. Several quality personnel have either transferred to other sites, quit, or been fired. Very poor direction and support from management. They talk bad about employees, both current and former, behind their backs. Toxic behavior.

Pay is on the low side.

no more cons to share

nothing I can think of

Promotions not always in a fair way, continuous changes

Speed when collaborating across various teams.

Poor management, Poor feedbacks from manager, Discipline missing on all levels

culture shock since it is a very big company

Setting stretched expectations Opportunities and growth are given to a specific group of people Too much effort spent on preparing for top management visits Lack of identifying the right talents until resignation is raised

Work-life balance varies by team and manager

Bad IT systems are a pain point Slow to advance

Long shifts. And good holiday pay.

Lack of support from management, managers will be trained but when employee will ask for training he will be put under performance review and later process will not be followed by the managers. No point of discussing with the HR she will pretend to be supportive but doesn't know anything. Even the global team won't listen to your concerns make sure that you get your PR sorted first and after that move to other location. They hardly follow any process defined by SE. Most of the managers are here to make money and build houses they don't care about employee development. Few managers are also providing wrong data to the global team just to save themselves and when auditing will come they will blame employees so please be careful. You will be forced to work on weekends and late shifts.

No cons are there in this company

mandatory relocation infra strict rules none none

No cons as such, amazing place

- lower payment compared to other companies.

Compensation: Salaries for many engineering roles are not competitive with current industry standards, which could make it difficult for the company to attract and retain top talent. • Management Style: There is a presence of excessive micromanagement in certain departments, specifically Engineering, which can be detrimental to team morale and employee autonomy. • Internal Resolution Process: The formal process for handling employee/management grievances (Trustline/HR) often lacks transparency and is perceived by employees as being heavily biased toward management decisions.

Accountability not strong, change is very slow

There are no downside to working with SE

Benefits could have been better.

High Stress Difficult Market Very Demanding

Working hours may be long depending on job Career progression limited Management pushes for projects based on cost rather than efficiency, resulting in staff having to put in extra hours

Work environment Parking Management Workflow

Number pressure is too high

-no notable bad points here

Dense middle management layer sometime leading to inefficiency

Nothing as of now. All good.

Slow decision making Leadership concerns

None i can think of

Pay Management can be messy

No skilled work it is good for experienced people

I want to share my experience at Schneider Electric, particularly around how electrical engineers are treated when it comes to overtime. Unfair Overtime Policy: Engineers are not eligible for standard overtime pay. Instead, there’s a flat-fee structure that makes no sense—it doesn’t matter if you have years of experience or are just starting out, everyone is treated the same. To even qualify for this flat fee, you must work a minimum of 10 extra hours before any compensation kicks in. This is not only unfair, it’s demoralizing. Delayed and Unreliable Payments: Even when you do meet the excessive threshold, overtime pay is not processed in a timely manner. Payments are often delayed by weeks or even months, with no clear explanation or accountability. In some cases, employees don’t see the compensation at all. This creates constant financial stress and sends a clear message that the company doesn’t value the time and effort of its engineers. It is the ONLY trade in these data centers that are required to work overtime and not compensated for it. Turnover is unbelievable. People leave on a regular basis because this environment drains motivation and drives talent away. It's incredibly disheartening to work weekends and longs nights only to be met with delayed, minimal, or nonexistent overtime pay. Schneider's practices show a complete lack of respect for its engineering staff. Project managers on jobs are TERRIBLE. The will send you ALL over the country for jobs where there is no work needed, local jobs available and have no clue what happens onsite and isn't on ANY of the planning calls. It is a MESS. LEADERSHIP is the worst... the turn a blind eye to ALL of it and say "we are looking into it" and nothing ever happens.

Extreme pressure to get things done. DEI policies killing merit No scope for technocrats to grow Company prefers beaurocrats aka business degree holders to leadership positions despite claims of being a technical innovator. Strictly no growth beyond middle management for technical personnel.

Pay is average and follows market rate

Limited growth opportunities unless you are connected with management

not much to say about cons

Very fast changing and organization is not stable. I did not experience proper onboarding

Gossip at the employee level.

it is slow to change

No vision for the position

Low Salary Siloed organisation limited progression

bad management, not to many parking spaces

Lots of internal reorganisation/change in structure

Internal process is slow only.

-Gigantic old corporation where processes and system are slow

Long Processes. Need to simplify and digitalize processes.

- lack internal process to underpin missing administrative support.

Nothing at the moment in the recent years

To be honest, I haven’t really had a bad experience worth mentioning. That’s largely thanks to the good fortune of having great friends and coworkers who have accompanied me throughout this journey
