Pros

Freedom , multiple business units , no competition from peers. If you fall in a good team , you will surely like the job and opportunity .

Cons

No motivation from leadership , very poor learning from peers , highly worse talent management. Your chance of falling in a good team is very very less as is proportional to no of able leaders in the company.

Pros

Cheap health care premiums as of today but expecting that to change.

Cons

ABB corporate squeezing new acquisitions like grapes for juice that's not there. Large companies like this have to satisfy share holders meaning there will never be enough profit to treat employee's as a core asset.

Pros

You may have balanced work life balance but not always. This is one of the pros.

Cons

Plenty. No direction, no strategy, senior management is clueless on many things, company politics weighs more on performance.
