Pros

ABB is a global company that promotes cross training and likes to promote from within. There are plenty of opportunities and the salary is competitive. Employees are vary valued and management cares about if you are happy or not.

Cons

Process improvement needed at least where I work. Management wants the team to drive improvement and change but I feel a lack of follow through to continue. HR and IT are overseas

Fresh new leadership but existing culture needs to change

Pros

Large international company with terrific career opportunities for upwardly mobile individuals and leaders This building has several US Utility Industry-recognized subject matter experts in high voltage transmission equipment New leadership has fresh ideas of how to turn around ABB's high voltage business challenges with quality and customer focus

Cons

The new leadership is refreshing but the rank-and-file white collar work force still has a predominantly "not my job, not my problem" attitude. There is a deeply embedded culture of willful helplessness, and a tolerance for mediocrity There is an alarming lack of digitalization of internal work processes, and a lack of automation for even the most basic workflow tasks. Productivity and quality suffers due to multiple manual processes and disconnected systems. This is very disappointing, considering ABB's market reputation for leading-edge technology.
