      Very large multi-national company. Easy to get lost in the mix.

      Pros

      Company provided training. Company car and cellular service depending on position.

      Cons

      Company car comes with several strings attached. You will need to keep your personal vehicle. Cellular service only applies to cheap phone ABB picks out. You can port your personal number over, but you won't get it back. Travel, travel, and more travel, but not to anywhere exciting or interesting. Pay, while initially might seem decent, you will quickly be asked to work more hours than initially stated while being paid for 40. Complain and get laid off. Company is too large, management too out of touch, in some cases your manager might be on the other side of the continent. Constant competition and exploitation of the different departments hurts the company as a whole. ABB's biggest competitor is ABB.

      Multi-National Powerhouse Operates with the Energy of a Startup

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Management team is composed of mature, experienced, open communicators who provide a lot of independence to employees. All interaction with the executive team has been remarkably natural, without the posturing and positional power-plays I've experienced elsewhere. With the exception of a couple of conspicuous duds, fellow employees are very professional, helpful, hard working, and solid team participants. Company's product technology and engineering capabilities are top notch.

      Cons

      It sometimes feels as though various elements of divisional and corporate management are not well aligned in their priorities and expectations. Cooperation between business units could be stronger. Employee coaching and career planning could be more active and transparent.

      Pros

      Big company with multiple business lines and operates in multiple countries. Opportunity for movement. Very DEI focused.

      Cons

      Very DEI focused (yes, it can be both a pro and a con). Promotions seem more based on optics than capabilities. Poor internal communication and processes. Lack of agreement of goals between global and regional leadership. Overall business line leaders in some cases have very limited experience (e.g. Sales, even though they manage the entire P&L) and can't/don't appreciate what else is going on.
