Pros

Laxed working enviroment, good workbalance, interesting projects. If you are looking for a international experience ABB has some project abroad especially with in oil and gas.

Cons

Top heavy, some departments has more managers than engineers. Franchise company, ABB is a common name for several companies and they share little if anyting in practice. There is almost no cooperation between the divisions or departments, so don't count on being transfered from one division to another, then you have resign ABB and reapply in another position elsewhere.

Pros

The management team works hard to encourage and support employees, recognizing that they are the company's greatest asset. Experienced team members are welcoming and take the time to train new employees, helping them succeed while emphasizing the importance of working safely. Leadership strives to be fair, consistent, and approachable. They actively listen to employee concerns, address issues in a timely manner, and foster a positive, supportive work environment where employees feel valued and respected.

Cons

One of the biggest drawbacks is the lack of air conditioning in the factory during the summer, making the work environment hot and at times uncomfortable. Overtime opportunities are also limited to a maximum of 56 hours per week, which may be disappointing for employees looking to work additional hours. While overtime is available, most employees can typically expect to work around eight hours of overtime each week.
