Pros

A company that is highly ethical, a global leader with green products and services our world needs the most in "Power & Productivity". There are many opportunities to grow and advance your career if you so like. It all depends on what you are willing to put in. We are moving in the right direction to become One Simple ABB, with common systems and business processes.

Cons

Since we are a global company you are on the job most of the time since you are connected to colleagues all over the world and several timezones away from you are at any given point. A global knowledge management system within IS/IT would be welcomed to further increase knowledge sharing.

ABB is a great company to grow professionally

Business Outlook

Pros

ABB is a very large company where employees have opportunity to grow, either in the same area or into something else. It is a great place to grow professionally. However, it may not have many opportunities available for promotios within the same branch one is at, so at times, to move forward, it is necessary to move within the industry to other cities / plants.

Cons

It depends in which city the company is located at and the culture of the people. ABB sells itself as a company that welcomes / accepts diversity. However, when you are inside the company, if you think different or come from a culture which is different from the culture of the city the company is located at, it might be very challeging for them to accept you and incorporate you into their culture. At times I felt discriminated for the treatment I was receiving from being from a different country and having different beliefs. The way they advertise diversity is very different that what it is in the real life.
