Schneider is a fresh breath of air for me. It's is a company that does not judge you based on culture but ability. Many companies in our industry (Process Automation) use the term you don't fit the culture. Which is definition for you don't look like us. Schneider focuses on hiring top talent and strengthening that talent. Through training, developing and actually caring about its employees. Instead of the old and outdated good old boy system. Which brings no true value to customers.
Cons
It's a big company with a lot of procedures that need streamlining. Hiring takes a bit of patience but I guess anything worth having take time to get. Hey I had to put something here.

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
