Pros

Benefits such as holiday buy, ok retirement plan all the pros are schneider standard - nothing that relates in any shape or form to this site. pro/con - if you make good 'friendships', you will be able to progress in your career quickly

Cons

- bullying culture - not matching skills of employees to job. - Since some of the old management left/retired and site has been completely taken over by Laurent and his minions, quality of employement drastically dropped. - Many people started suffering on mental health, therefore affected their physical health. - Management accepts more orders than they can possibly produce and then makes is operators problem. - Constant lack of tools to work with and what is more important material. The downtime for lack of material is ridicilous. - Pressured to do overtime - if your skills do not match the job you're supposed to do, if you request move, they won't. They will bully you and put even more pressure on until you do it yourself. - Higher level of management started to hire for nice managerial roles their acquaintances. - There is a ban on using radio anywhere on shopfloor, so long day 10 hour shift drags more than it should (plus overtime) - they have this 50% of staff to be female, which means you might have the best skills and still not get hired, only because you are a man (before anyone jumps in and says review has been written by bitter man, it is written by female who saw it all happen/heard about it all happen first hand) - they say they are diverse, but as soon as your disabilities might affect your work, they will put more pressure on you (circle back to bully culture). - if you need help from HR - this department is a joke - no help or support, don't know what do they get paid for. Right now morales are at the lowest, do not come here. If you want to come here, wait 2 years when management changes - as is it standard procedure of Schneider.

Pros

Strong exposure to complex, high-value technical projects with cross-functional coordination across engineering, vendors, and clients. Opportunities to lead end-to-end project execution, from planning through commissioning and testing. High level of ownership and visibility, with meaningful impact on critical infrastructure and system integration.

Cons

High workload and competing priorities across multiple projects can create scheduling pressure. Coordination across multiple stakeholders and dependencies can lead to delays outside of direct control. Some processes and tools could be more standardized to improve efficiency and reduce rework.

Pros

- Decent pay and good benefits - work truck with gas card -good experience

Cons

- management is disconnected from field employees - review process does not reflect employee performance since managers do not go out in field in order to properly assess job performance - poor communication which leads to chaotic project implementation - no standardization of necessary info for each customer site. You walk in completely blind each time you visit a customer you’ve never been to - safety is important, but corporate pushes redundant messaging so frequently i believe it has the opposite of the intended effect - forced to wear long sleeves FR shirts in hot weather even when you are not exposed to fire hazards any more than a standard office employee
