Q&A With Schneider Electric Employees

Anytime is ok.

I can work from home almost any day I like provided I let my manager know. He has offered me one day a week dedicated to working from home, but I've chosen to reserve it only for occasions when I need to be in my house.

work from home is only possible after office hours

They don't like their manager.

lack of collaboration, premature managers

Salary

Don't here from him other than newsletters.

The CEO is engaged and definitely has a vision. Our acquisitions and other investments seem geared to a software/iiot future, large project based. It is a truly global company. My suggestion would be to invest more in hardware research and development. Our quality is the best out there but our functionality, while very good, is not market leading

What work-life balance?

They are very supportive of family and a healthy balance, but also have at times very high expectations and expectations that can tip that balance the wrong way on occasion. Overall they really do try to make it a good balance.

Usually very good depending on your manager

Yes many remote opportunities

Yes, apart from field sales and service many roles are done remotely

Sales, marketing and general management is often remote I have worked remote for them for10 years

Job responsibilities

Good. I enjoyed it a lot. They really took their time and made me feel at home.

Very intimidating.

I would let go of the managers that have not evolved and adopted the companies core values. I would support my team and work with other managers to make sure our processes are cohesive and work for all parties and I would also allow those that work primarily independently to work from home to encourage a better work-life balance.

Helping out more with equipment or tools to do job more efficiently. It's the small little things that counts like office supplies. Instead of buying my own. I bought my own docking port for the laptop. My own keyboard, mouse, staples and pens. I'm very mobile, there are times where I need to take my laptop to the raised floor and unplugging the keyboard, mouse monitor off the the laptop takes time, by using a docking port I can just eject the laptop.
