Pros

- ABB overall is a good company - Work from home with manager approval - Convenient office location - Company 401k match is realtime and benefits start day one - ABB Company Values (when they are followed)

Cons

- Bad culture in Enterprise Software: encouraged/forced vacations, frequent layoffs, high turnover of leadership and "A" players - Bad management in Enterprise Software: senior leaders and Zurich blame consistently low sales performance on everyone but themselves while failing to make any substantial investments - Sink or swim: very limited job training, coaching, and mentorship (only forced safety and integrity trainings) - Parent company prefers optimizing the short-term (making the quarter) with the expense of the long term (improving the product portfolio)
