Schneider Electric Employee Reviews & Ratings

Not really any cons to mention

Can be confusing as it is such a large organsiation.

It is a good company but work can get monotonous sometimes

Somewhat below average sectoral salary in Hungary

Very slow in decision making and too much red tape

No camaraderie Lack of process Large teams to manager ratios

A little bit of a maze figuring out career trajectory given the role and industry for my specific part of the business

Work life balance is poor

Perception of company isn’t reality They push the wellbeing and mental health of employees narrative but they don’t really care Very much a “not my job” attitude throughout the uk business Arrogant Executive Committee The UK don’t align with the rest of the group as much of the money is spent on high salaries for the chosen ones High turnover of staff…check out the number of jobs on indeed or LinkedIn HR department is useless

There is an environment of bigotry in this company. Many stories of discrimination and harassment.

Push for the "return to people" (aka the return to the office) has been detrimental to culture and building employee resentment. We all talk about it, and having to reserve a desk several days in advance is ridiculous. Why build a new office with 50% capacity and then force everyone to come in?

Over stretch on resources to deliver products

Excessive bureaucracy, redundant processes, mandatory return-to-office policies without clear justification, and limited salary growth plans, typically capped at 2–3% annually, are all contributing to a lack of motivation among managers. They often talk about fairytales and receive all the benefits despite not deserving them. Moreover, many PMs either don’t work much or work just enough to justify their existence and salary. Sometimes, I find myself thinking about starting to “work” like everyone else and enjoying life.

Large organizations can sometimes have its challenges, speed of change can sometimes feel slower. Average compensation and benefits.

The ammount of work but it is according to business

Unclear on the failure to capitalize the US data center boom business. Is it lack of competitive moat , slow execution or overheads ?

In my research, I found that Schneider tends to have slightly lower salary levels than competitors in the same space and often does not do a great job of allowing for negotiations during internal promotions.

too flexible with systems and processes not well standardized, where labor work has to fill in for the gap

Not any major cons. There can be a level of bureaucracy that slows down projects, but that's in most MNCs.

Prone to typical corporate nonsense

Work load, work hours, distance

Some positions are overloaded with work and require more than 50 hours per week to keep up.

Growth Opportunities are abysmal!!! There is no growth, no plan, and no action on employee growth. Countless programs and what not, but no real impact.

Corporate rules, no real decision making competency, long and complex approval processes

Heavy structure and sometimes slow to make changes

Don’t really have any, I’m a big fan of working for SE!

Too much politics and systems

none as such - ambitious company

Absolutely slow to change and accepting of the status quo. Even with a two sets of consultants brought in to help, solutions were thrown to the wayside once the services left.

Budget cuts happen to programs and it is possible to end up on the RIF list unexpectedly due to those program budget cuts. Management does work hard to find placement opportunities for those impacted

Some managers can be old schools

A little lower pay than market and things won’t always move fast (a con if you are looking for a fast paced environment)

Salary seems to be on the low side

Politics Rest all is ok depending on the team

Taiwan SE don't really know how to use the high quality resource of human.

Nothing really, pretty good place

departments can be siloed from each other

Some level of micro management

While they pay slightly over average in the industry, it is a legacy company that is trying to find itself in the market of new entrants and technologies, leading to the pay growth being lower than expected

little to no support or community. company politics

I don´t have cons...I have been working for some time and I´m pretty happy with the work and opportunities the company have

Spread out teams, knowledge sharing

too much politics and too much unskilled people, doing politics.

the new hires adaptability to the culture is a little slow

Can not go home in site

pay increment and promotion opportunities are generally low and slow..

Lacks simplicity of smaller companies

The time I joined there were some changes taking place in the organization and so, the team names and hierarchy kept changing every 3 months, that didn't hinder work in any manner but I just didn't who I was reporting to after my manager at times

While there are opportunities for growth, some employees feel that career progression can be slow and that promotions are not always based on merit

Some staff were very clicky including management
