Pros

good office location some really cool people working there

Cons

depends, where you end up in finance, there are few cool areas if you are lucky, but as a rule of thumb: heavily imbalanced workload, especially during closings management who is not able to really drive things and make changes happen huge imbalance of power GBS vs. markets (forget about changing things) lack of respect towards employees ABB values active only on paper, not in practice

Pros

Yearly pay is on the average high side.

Cons

Tons of office politics, many incapable and biased managers, extremely long working hours, very slow pay progression, zero career progression, workers concerns are not attended to. Typical corporate structure, too many cons to list for the engineers and technicians, good reviews in here are usually given by management/office/interns. Engineers who want good pay and able to tolerate everything are encouraged to join.

Pros

ABB has virtually limitless opportunities to grow and learn. Attracts talent to work in technical innovations that later become “de facto” standards in industry. Offers fair remuneration package for employees.

Cons

Increasingly top heavy company, its large overhead costs make it difficult to compete in the market place. ABB is a technology innovative giant plagued with processes that do not add value to the customer and make goals hard to reach. If you are a Lean Six-Sigma advocate and want to face a big challenge, this company may be a good fit for you. On the other hand, if you want to work in an environment that promotes efficiency to achieve goals, this place may be frustrating at times.
