      Pros

      ABB is a great company, growing constantly in the last years. It's present in more than 100 countries so plenty of opportunities. It's always investing in development of new products and trying to enter in new business/markets. Atmosphere at work it great and friendly

      Cons

      Targets are always challenging, sometimes clearly not reachable. A lot of initiatives like cost reduction, reduction of travels that cause a decrease of your freedom and capability of doing your job well. The employee development program is not well organize, training is extremely poor and career development is not really present.

      Bureaucracy and lack of strategy

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay, decent benefits, some great colleagues to share the pain with.

      Cons

      Unless you are in Zurich (global HQ), you are considered a second-class employee. Everyone in Zurich thinks they are the best at their job, which simply isn't true. This carries up to the organization, where global hq can tell the regions what to do, and what not to do. As a result, US employees, for example, are mostly order-takers from people who know less about a strategy than they do. Except for the US CEO, upper management is unwilling to challenge anybody that the US has a better vision and strategy of where to take the company. The global CEO has no vision yet micromanages his leadership team to ensure no one else gets to challenge him. He is not customer-focused, just buzzword-focused.

      Pros

      Very structured career path, lots of training materials, and good mentors.

      Cons

      A bit slow in decision making, and political struggle is not free.
