      Pros

      Name recognition is strong with ABB. ABB is a strong competitor with MV Switchgear and transformers. there are good people working at ABB.

      Cons

      senior leadership is "product" minded, not project minded. It's not that they don't understand, they are smart, but they seem set in their ways. With EPC customers especially the expectations are far igher than what ABB's Sr leadership is willing to concede. Engineering and administrative support are (were) completely overwhelmed with no relief in sight.

      Pros

      Great team spirit and family atmosphere. Everybody was very open to help each other, even under enormeous workload. Good perspective to develop your own career. Had a great manager who was more like a mentor to me.

      Cons

      Too much middle level management who seem to be sitting on their kingdoms after each promotion they get. The company structure is very complex to understand, however this never had any direct impact on my actual job.

      Pros

      Variety in the Work and technologies employed. Friendly customers. Lots of independence. Good internal training resources.

      Cons

      Very unstable organisation. Since ABB took over the company I worked for, I have never had two successive six monthly performance reviews by the same manager . Generally my manager has little idea of what work I do, my skills or indeed my performance. The organisation is essentially a sales organisation and struggles managing people who do real work.
