Pros

Home office is in many roles no issue. Trust in employees is high. Even for interns, the hours are very flexible. Central location of the offices. Even as an intern I had the privilege to have a mobile phone for work (even though I didn't need one and gave it back).

Cons

Definitely the salary. It's also something that has to be pushed from employees even if the track record is great (in some situations only displaying motivation to leave the company finally made people realize). People are getting complacent because they think that ABB is such a great employer and Interns should be grateful to get a chance in this company (at least that's how it feels like). Many buildings are extremely old and the equipment in the meeting rooms is as well. Adherence to rules and regulations are overboard, it makes the company extremely inflexible, they don't know when both parties benefit from exceptions. Information flow is insufficient top down. Since the company is going through a reorganization, nobody knows what's going to happen, due date was the first of April - no improvement as of now (personally I also don't think that this will improve in the coming years with the divestment of the power grids division to hitachi).

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.
