Pros

Lots of opportunities, present in a lot of countries, brings chance to know many different cultures.

Cons

Too burocratic. Even though company's policy says managers can't block employees to move o other roles, the practice is that managers do that all the time.

Pros

ABB is a good company to work for, for awhile. The pay is decent and there are benefits, health insurance, 401K, etc. but they were only adequate, not the best. Limited chance of promotion, and then only after years of employment. Layers of management make it hard to get anything done.

Cons

Coming from a company that ABB bought and shut down had distinct disadvantages. Management always looked down on the "new" people and the "ABB way" was the ONLY way to do anything. When I had ideas for improvement, they would be shot down immediately, so I just didn't try anymore. My first two years, I didn't have a desk or phone. I was moved around to different conference rooms. It took a year to get a laptop computer like everyone else.
