Schneider Electric Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"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."

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

"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."

"I've worked for Schneider Electric since 2013. The company employs around 800 people and has many locations around the world. I've a very good relationship with all employees. My whole career I've worked in the Test Area."

"I found this company to be focused on more internal organizations instead of concentrating on educating their employees on the corporation's main products instead of focusing on a clear company strategy that enabled them to build closer relationships with their core customers."
