Pros

If you have a good boss, things sail through. But overall, a difficult and political company to survive.

Cons

ABB Bangalore over the last few years has become one of the worse companies to work for. There is a lot of bureaucracy and non essentials are escalated to the senior management. You will be subtly told every now and then that if you do not comply to the draconian policies of the company, you will be sacked. Everything goes in the name of company policy. The HR officials are the worse lot. They don't have proper degrees and thus are oblivious to protocol. People with diplomas and just BA are at senior positions because they have been in the company for long. Very incompetent and rude. And huge ego. But most of the HR is the same. I'm glad I'm out.

Work-life balance can be inconsistent depending on department and production demands * Advancement opportunities may feel limited without moving into management or relocating * Communication and management consistency can vary between shifts/departments * Production pressure and changing priorities can create stress in quality-related roles * Some roles may require overtime or schedule flexibility that can be difficult for employees with family responsibilities * Recognition for process improvements and extra responsibilities may not always match workload expectations * Culture can feel more production-focused than employee-focused at times
