    Not a professional work environment, very weak management and the HR cannot do much for you.

    Pros

    Travelling is the best you may get from Invensys, they pay a good travel allowance.

    Cons

    Considering a multinational firm, basic salaries are too low. And unless you're assigned most of the year to tasks abroad, you can't afford basics.

    Great products, great engineering talent but lack of leadership and vision

    Pros

    ArchestrA product produced by Invensys (Wonderware) are one of the most complex distributed system that I have worked on. The system is extremely extensible and very robust. Wonderware has some of the most talented software developers and a very strong sense of ownership for the flagship products.

    Cons

    Executive leadership at Invensys (Wonderware) is weak. There is a lot of intra-department politics and there are way too many executive leaders (Director and above). Most of the development engineers are overworked and under appreciated. There are very few training and development opportunities provided for personal growth.

    Pros

    Benefits were good, salaries were decent, I'd work there again if the opportunity arose.

    Cons

    During my time at Invensys there were many reorganizations which unfortunately negatively impacted employee productivity and morale. Although it is a technology company the business unit I worked in seemed to be behind the times and not use these tools for success.

    Pros

    The best reasons to work for Invensys, it is a company that has very high regard for quality. It is a company that believes in process. For the most part, they have very solid processes in place. There's a lot of room for learning new things. Employees are encouraged to learn the latest and greatest technology out there.

    Cons

    One of the downsides working at Invensys is long hours is typical.

    Corporate Incompetence

    Pros

    Decent benefits and very nice A rated office facility

    Cons

    Continual changes in senior leadership have created a complete void in corporate vision. Working at Invensys It was like a lot of individual directives all going in competing ways with no strategy. Very few if any of the leaders work together. This was probably due to disconnected silos of leadership across the organization stemming from which one of the many companies purchased by Invensys corporate.

    Invensys is a very good company to work for.

    Pros

    Invensys has very skilled and knowledable people. Better than average pay for their salespeople. Provides opprtunities within the company to grow and expand your career.

    Cons

    Similar to other large companies, there can be unnecessary red tape and politics. Foxboro is not a top of the line DCS system and needs to be improved.

    Pros

    Invensys is a good place to work and there are a lot of opportunities for the company to grow in the right directions. The management does good for the size of the company, but it needs better direction.

    Cons

    The review process is arduous and not productive at all. I'm pretty sure everyone musters through it because it is required, but it is hardly a measure of performance.

    Pros

    Invensys : Top 5-7 companies in world in industrial automation. Excellent people, work culture and policies.

    Cons

    Now it is CTS, a service company. Not very much suitable for product development company guys, but still better than other service companies I guess.

    Culture Lacks Ethics

    Pros

    As a global leader of controls and automation solutions, Schneider Electric's Process Automation (formerly Invensys) division has the largest portfolio of products on the market--by a large margin--over competitors like ABB, Siemens, GE, and Rockwell.

    Cons

    Since their acquisition by Schneider Electric, Invensys management has been systematically eliminating non-Invensys customer facing resources through political manipulation and intentionally inflicted organizational chaos. The ways in which these resources have been terminated have resulted in a large volume of customer frustration and disappointment with the Schneider Electric brand, and an increased awareness in the industry of the unethical ways that many of these resources have been let go. Discrimination of all sorts has been observed and recorded in these exit interviews and it is not a good sign for the Process Automation (Invensys) division of Schneider Electric.
