Pros

The worldwide headquearters in Clovis which is located in the California Central Valley means that the cost of living is relatively low compared to other regions, especially the San Francisco / San Jose / Bay Area. The company does do a lot to help those that need help in its work force.

Cons

The company is very manufacturing centric, from the top down. It is NOT like working for a software company. The benefits are not comparable with other tech companies. The 401k is not comparable either. The bonus structure is officially none existant. These things combined make the compensation packages offered somewhat unattractive.

Pros

Great people, meaningful work, and strong opportunities for professional growth. As a large global company, Schneider Electric offers extensive resources, exposure to diverse projects, and the flexibility to explore different teams and career paths across the organization.

Cons

Bureaucratic processes can make it difficult to move quickly. Some HR policies feel unnecessarily restrictive and are not always clearly communicated during the hiring process. Referral bonuses are forfeited if an employee leaves before the payout date, even if the referral was successfully hired. Limited office presence in major U.S. hubs such as New York and San Francisco, and few options for part-time or reduced-hour work arrangements.
