Reviews
I am more of post-sales. Thus, I interact a lot with customers remotely, either via Email or a phone call. As a graduate, you take a longer time to solve something for the customer and it can be quite pressurizing if the customer's situation is urgent. However, you get to learn a lot through the customer's application.
Digital Tools rollout and support
They didn't just give me busy work, rather meaningful projects.

Pros and cons of working at Schneider Electric Australia & New Zealand
Pros
Fantastic work culture, having compared notes with others from my graduating class there doesn’t seem to be many places that are this welcoming and open.
The flexible hours of my work day, allowing me to start and finish when I need to.
People are very supportive. My co-workers or managers are always willing to answer my questions if I get stuck on tasks.
Lot of opportunities to grow your career, good work-life balance, helpful teammates.
There is a great degree of diversity in backgrounds and profession - there is a lot of room to learn.
Cons
Challenging to navigate a global and large organisation at times.
Sometimes you can feel overwhelmed as there is such a large product portfolio and no singular hub for information and resources.
Some work is very aligned with background/passions and some is what you have to do to get the work done.
SE is so big that it can be difficult to navigate or find the right person for help. Change can also take a while.
The office location is too far and sometimes travelling to regional sites.
