Legrand

Pros: I've found Legrand to be a really stable place to work, which is great for job security in the electrical manufacturing industry. The benefits package, especially health and retirement, is pretty comprehensive and a definite plus. My colleagues are supportive, making for a collaborative work environment. I also appreciate the opportunities to work on interesting projects and learn new technologies within product development.
Cons: While the pay is competitive, I've noticed that the promotion process can feel a bit slow sometimes, which might be a drawback if you're looking for rapid career acceleration. Also, like any large company, there's a fair bit of bureaucracy and approval steps for new initiatives, which can occasionally slow things down.
Advice to Management: Continue to streamline internal processes to enable faster innovation and consider clearer pathways for career advancement for long-term employees.

Pros: For an electrical manufacturing company, the hybrid model is okay. It offers some WFH days, which is helpful for Project Engineer tasks. It gives you a little break from the office commute.
Cons: It's hard to get full remote work, even for roles where it makes sense. They're pretty strict about being onsite most of the week in the West Hartford, CT office. My team had trouble getting approvals for extra flexibility when we needed it.
Advice to Management: Consider allowing more remote flexibility for technical roles, especially for those not directly involved in physical product development onsite. It would really help with employee morale.

Pros: You get to work on some interesting electrical solutions projects. The teams are pretty collaborative, which is nice for us in the West Hartford, CT office. Good benefits for a large corporate company, and the hybrid work model is a solid perk.
Cons: Leadership can be really inconsistent. Some managers are great, but others struggle with clear communication. It feels like they're often out of touch with the day-to-day for Electrical Engineer roles. Decision-making is slow, which is frustrating.
Advice to Management: Focus on more consistent training for managers, especially around clear communication and empowering teams. Listen more to what's happening on the ground with the technical roles in building infrastructure.
