Schneider Electric Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"It was a great experience to work for Schneider electric Egypt (oil and gas department)"

"Nothing to say except the company was great to work for."

"I have work with two different divisions of Schneider. Good company, great people. Looking to expand my experience in a more challenging position."

"Schneider Electric is a excellent company,"

"I worked at SE for 6 months and had a great time there. Everyone was helpful and kind as well as I experienced plenty of learning opportunities that I am grateful for."

"It's a great place to work with so many good people to work with. The atmosphere is fast-paced but has many benefits. Someone is always there to help out when needed."

"I worked at Schneider electric for six months as a material productivity intern. I worked with the Supply chain department, quality as well as procurement to get experience on multiple product lines. I also participated in gemba walks and supplier based optimization."

"I preformed a packaging line improvement job and enjoyed the experience."

"Have been part of this company for 15+ years. I saw the company double in size starting 2004, mostly if not all by acquisitions. The company has adjusted their 3 year strategy, so called "company program", which was great to see in the last couple of years, as there was a significant need to become one and connect all BU's and functions. For my function, S&E, we see ourselves as a big family and a best in class in terms of communication and collaboration. At the corporate level there is not a clear strategy although they are working on it. So far a great ride, as they have taken care of me with multiple opportunities and growth."

"Overall a pretty good company. On boarding process for new employees is a nightmare. Sink or swim mentality. Need to do a better job of hiring the proper talent. Too much process."

"I joined Telvent in 2008. Telvent was acquired by Schneider Electric in 2012. The company takes good care of its people, and has many positive initiatives. My biggest struggle is that I have a background working for innovative software companies, and I want to continue to work for innovative software companies. Schneider Electric is not a software company. It is primarily an industrial hardware company. This makes driving change a challenge, but rewarding."

"I have enjoyed my time overall at Schneider Electric (originally American Power Conversion Corporation). However, the company is very manager focused, with the overall organization structure feeling very inverted and top-heavy. The primary way to advance in your career is to become a manager, there is limited growth opportunity for those who wish to stay technical. My particular division in IT Business (the group which was formerly American Power Conversion Corporation) is becoming increasingly software/firmware based, but is, to their detriment, holding stubbornly to the hardware centric past. They are reluctant to acknowledge the increasing importance of firmware in their products or to adopt contemporary methods of managing software development. The overall environment is fine, and mildly supportive. In my experience, managers are relatively considerate and want to be good managers and do right by their employees, but they are also short sighted, somewhat close minded, and resistant to constructive criticism, despite claiming that they are "always open". Compensation and benefits are reasonable and competitive, though there is a significant culture of working (unpaid) overtime, occasionally (but rarely) working weekends. Expect a fair amount of travel."

"It's good company to work in."

"Good company and love to work with them."
