      Decent place to work, with some caveats. Has some great people, but be prepared to be confused at times.

      Pros

      Schneider Electric has a great group of people--several being there for a long time. They look to promote from within and mostly keep and support employees that work hard. If the manager is supportive, they will allow for flexible work arrangements--including part-time situations.

      Cons

      Over the years (I worked there for 15 years), the leadership has become less communicative and lacking in direction. As the industry became more competitive, Square D/Schneider Electric has changed strategies continually to try to adjust--mostly without success. Several of the top management were rude and abrasive in their demeanor. They also tend to take away small benefits to try to cut costs (like coffee!). Marketing is constantly in flux, and doesn't often get respect from management and other areas of the company.

      Just in! French-led company impossible with financial expectations and lousy ethics....wait, that's not news.

      Pros

      Global company with more opportunity outside of just one location; excellent instructor-led classes and benefits

      Cons

      Senior management leadership is a joke; very bureaucratic to the detriment of the company, no central information technology linking all their conglomerates or even within their major brands, working folks to the point of developed medical conditions because of scrimping on labor costs and having folks do quadruple the work; running off excellent employees and keeping the ones that really need to go

      Nice work environment but light on innovation/excitement

      Pros

      Generally, you will surrounded by nice, caring, dedicated people. The US branch of the company, formerly Square D, is a stable old-fashioned organization pretty much straight out of 1950s America. It's one of the few places that still has a decent retirement program, provided you put in your 20+ years of service. The company took some hard knocks a few years ago, but seems better positioned now to respond to market conditions.

      Cons

      The company is too focused on internal initiatives at the expense of innovation. And a lot of these initiatives are pie-in-the-sky, implemented from the top down, and fail to deliver on promises of streamlined effort and cost. The ratio of managers and support staff to core development people is too high. You're considered lucky if you get to do actual development work rather than reworking old or brand label products.
