Pros

- In general the workforce is excellent good work colleagues and people wise a good company.

Cons

- The management strategy and vision of future is terrible. In essence they are just securing themselves positions in the top sphere of the company and forgetting about this ABB location at all. - If you want to do Engineering and something technical this is not the place most of the work is outsource to ABB India so hardly no chance to learn anything. The company interest on you is to manage Indian Engineers from the UK. - Executing projects in general is really bad no order or consistency followed, the internal procedures are also ignored. Quality is a total missed here. - The company has been too many years working for the Oil and Gas where quality is really bad compared to any other controls systems and automation sector. The management does not want to hear about doing anything else. -Currently the company is making Engineers just them redundant managers are untouchable no matter their performance.

Pros

Benefits were okay, some of the people were great. Travel opportunities. Part of some cutting edge products.

Cons

There was alot of turnover. Constant change of management and focus. Management was very poor with little guidance, support and focus. Company structure is bad particularly with organization and leaders that are in place. This organization does not do a good job of recognizing and keeping talent. They feel everyone is replaceable. You will be just a number here.

Pros

Flexibility in being allowed to work from home. Pay rises and bonus paid this year.

Cons

Having the strange combination of being flooded with managers and the managers still not knowing what you do or the business. 5 levels of managers from the people who do the actual work to top of the division.
