Pros

Products, exposure to customers/markets, Best domain technology, work-life balance

Cons

ABB GISPL: R&D managers, Dept. Managers, Line managers are not fit for the job they are given. They don't care about employees/people and ABB. They pull down their own teams who go beyond their line of duty to accomplish great work. Managers enjoy claiming the work done by the team without giving them any credit by not exposing them to global teams. Do not help their teams in anything instead create trouble for them who tell truth or ask questions openly. Hire B class employees so they listen to them only and don't ask anything. They support the people they hire with a bias towards them. (nepotism) If their complaint is done to a higher management nothing happens. All have synced in between. HR is for name purposes with no power. Deadlines are always missed due to poor project/program management capabilities. The salary is average as per the market standard for IT employees.

Pros

Health insurance starts right away and you get a good amount of holidays

Cons

They start your pay low, fight not to give a next step raise, give only 2.0 percent yearly raise so in two years you can get last years cost of living. They don't post pay scales. They want a lot of I not we can do this, but the I is so they can point at the I and they can avoid blame. It isn't a we company if you take time to read the propaganda they post over the break tables. You are expected to work overtime and by doing that you can make a living but not have a life.
