Other Technical Writer interview reviews for Schneider Electric
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Schneider Electric (Saint Louis, MO) in Nov 2012
Interview
Initial phone interview. After the phone interview/screening they asked me to come in. I met with the group manager initially, and then afterwards met with members of the team. Pretty relaxed process, and all parties were genuinely interested in discussing my experience as well as ways that I could integrate into their group. Overall interview was not one of the most challenging or intense interviews that I have been a part of.
