Pros

ABB is a company that strives to do the right thing and take responsibility for its actions. It treats its employees fairly and doesn't limit them with glass ceilings. It provides the community with useful products and services that serve to help the world become more sustainable and use its resources more efficiently.

Cons

One down side of ABB as with any big company is that sometimes you have to live somewhere other than your preferred location in order to have a position or work in a business that you desire.
