Schneider Electric - EGP (Grad program)
 

Anyone previously or currently enrolled in their graduate program (Energy Generation Program) can shed some light about their pay structure, culture and working location (Kallang or Changi Business Park)?

I looking at the technical track mainly for engineering.

:(:(

Would help a lot thanks!

Hi. Are you applying for this year's intake?

Hi, i'm also interested to find out more about the program. Glassdoor doesn't show good reviews for the company somehow. Would like to know starting salary, rotations and company culture. Anyone?

From what I heard, they are paying about 3.5k for the program? Anyone confirm?

Schneider is on the lower end in terms of pay & work life balance compared to other MNCs. Their cultre is very conservative and progression tends to be slow and it takes at least 15 years to reach 200k+ level salary which is much slower than other MNCs or bank MAP grads which take only ~10 years.

My advice is if you can get other MNC offers then its better to go for the others, but if nothing on offer or only local or regional asian co. then it is still acceptable.

Anyone currently a graduate trainee in the energy generation programme? Any idea what the salary is for the graduate trainee? Any Bonus?

Also heard about the International Track where fresh graduates get posted overseas? How does that work and how well do the employees get paid?

Umm..there isnt any international track. Only technical, business and mixed (tech+bus) role. The program only send the top few % overseas for 1 year (EGP is 2 years). How they determine whether you're the top few %, I'm not very sure tho.

p/s: I'm waiting for the final offer for the next opening.

Hi. There is a new international track offered for this year's batch of graduates. But other than knowing that one of the rotations is in france, not much info was given. I think they are selecting one for this track.

Really? Not sure about the international track, perhaps i missed that out during the AC or I'm just daydreaming lol. Are you selected for the EPG for the current opening? Are you still waiting for the offer? I haven't receive any news about the final confirmation and offer yet.

Yeah. They mentioned it briefly during the start of the AC.
Yup. No news yet. But I think my chances are kinda gone because i screwed up my psychometric test haha.

Haha same. I screwed up my psychometric test too. But they did say it wont be for elimination tho. Hopefully the bosses wont take it too seriously and look at it with a pinch of salt.

Anyway, how much do you think they will be offering? So far, i heard it was about 3.5k for the previous batches? It's not really high if that's true tho.

Oh really? That's good news. When did they say that?

Hmm. The previous poster said $3.5k and I heard from my friends that its around there too so it's probably it. Yeah. But I think this program has a rather good exposure so $3.5k is fine for me haha.

Hahaha I see. Are you from the technical track or business?

And did they mentioned anything about the location of the office? Because I randomly googled people from the past program and some of them seems to be located at the Changi office. Bad news for me then if I'm attached there assuming I got the offer.

p/s: Opps forgotten to mention the part on the elimination. They mentioned that they will not be using it as a form of elimination during the email after the panel interview. I supposed you got it too?

The HR lady said it wont be used to eliminate ppl but the bosses still have the last say tho. So it's more on the bosses rather than your test results.

Anyone got any updates for the offer confirmation for the current opening for EGP?

Nope. Still waiting.

Ahh I didnt receive that email.

Looks like they are taking quite a long time on this. Been around 2 weeks + since I last did the psy test.

has anyone emailed the hr for any details?

Are you the same guy that replied on the previous few posts?

I'm thinking of dropping an email tomorrow tho. Been waiting for quite awhile now and I can't help but feel a little worried. Just want to secure this job offer and move on with other stuff.

Yeah. I'm the same guy. Feeling the same way too.

Are you going to email the HR? So I guess the last email you received was the test link for the psy test?

I will probably email the HR later. Yeah. That was a long time ago. Did you receive any other emails after the psy test?

My last email was the psy test itself which is about almost 3 weeks or so? Never receive any other emails other than that. How do you usually contact the HR for info? Directly to the program email or to the HR lady directly?

Let's update each other if there are any new news haha.

I think probably to the program email. Yeah. Will update in this thread if there is any news.

I think they're calling the applicants now. I just got a call today offering GEP

How much they did they offer you? Was wondering if everyone is getting the same package.

basic salary of 3.8k

Did you take up the offer in the end?

Hi. When did they say the program will start? Or are you able to choose your starting date?

Program starts in December or June but they try to accommodate you if you graduate on different periods.

Oh I see. How many interviews have you gone for before the offer?

Hi. Which track are you chosen for the program?

Anyone know how much they paying for their EGP and also typical fresh grad engineer?

first class - 3500
second upper - 3300
second lower - 3200
third class - 3000

updated jan 2020.

omg thats bad

Pretty reasonable for third class.

Think they value real life work performance then degree.

Then again some third class really have limited engineering skills and knowledge

First class and 2nd upp is bad

Thanks for sharing. Expected at leaast 4k for first class though.. starting to regret working so hard in school now..

Just curious, is this the market rate for other tech/engin companies too?

Anyone got interview recently?
