Schneider Electric

Slow paced environment & career growth Highly matrix and slow decision making

The company has a pattern of investing in employee development but then laying staff off to improve financial metrics. While leadership questions high turnover, employees often feel a lack of job security. Those with higher salaries due to experience, as well as newer hires, may find themselves unsupported during challenging times. In addition, new initiatives, software, and strategies are consistently rolled out from upper management with a “bird’s eye” perspective, without gathering meaningful input from the teams directly impacted. This top-down approach limits the effectiveness of change and overlooks valuable expertise at the operational level. The organization has significant potential, but in practice, it functions as little more than a place to collect a paycheck, as meaningful change is rarely supported or sustained. Even programs branded under IMPACT feel misaligned — more like “Imposing Management’s Plans And Cutting Talent” than truly empowering employees.
