Pros

The potential is there. Products have the potential to be great. With proper operational focus, things could be very positive.

Cons

Poor quality out of European factories. Mid-level to upper management is completely oblivious and out of touch. Way too much focus and money spent on big marketing events and not enough focus/money spent on safety, quality and operational excellence.

Pros

Home office is in many roles no issue. Trust in employees is high. Even for interns, the hours are very flexible. Central location of the offices. Even as an intern I had the privilege to have a mobile phone for work (even though I didn't need one and gave it back).

Cons

Definitely the salary. It's also something that has to be pushed from employees even if the track record is great (in some situations only displaying motivation to leave the company finally made people realize). People are getting complacent because they think that ABB is such a great employer and Interns should be grateful to get a chance in this company (at least that's how it feels like). Many buildings are extremely old and the equipment in the meeting rooms is as well. Adherence to rules and regulations are overboard, it makes the company extremely inflexible, they don't know when both parties benefit from exceptions. Information flow is insufficient top down. Since the company is going through a reorganization, nobody knows what's going to happen, due date was the first of April - no improvement as of now (personally I also don't think that this will improve in the coming years with the divestment of the power grids division to hitachi).
