Not what I expected

Pros

The compensation is great and the benefits are second to non. Unlimited vacation is hard to beat.

Cons

Insane workload and very little training. I left my job of 7 years to come to ABB for a remote position and through out the hiring process, it seemed like it was going to be a great move. Upon starting I immediately figured out that this position was not what was sold to me. Working across multiple time zones required me to attend customer meetings from 6:30am to 7,8 and even 9pm. The complicated systems and process resulted in a great deal of unnecessary work. I was really excited about the move and was planning to stay at ABB for a long time. I lasted about 7 months before had to find something different. The attrition was something like I have never seen before; from entry level positions to executives, everyone was leaving.

Pros

Do you love politics but don’t think you are cut out to be the local mayor yet you yearn to play games and backstab your colleagues? Do you get called a bully but feel that you should be encouraged to coerce and manipulate people? Do you feel that you are really good at passive aggressive behavior? Does lying come naturally to you? Then you are what ABB is looking for! Welcome to ABB, leave your morals and humanity at the door when you enter.

Cons

You might have some annoying colleagues who want to follow the rules and do a good job which just doesn’t play into your agenda while you try to backstab your boss, so you can get his job. Sometimes your client finds out you lied but try to cover that up and place blame on others.
