      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - global player with a very broad product and tech portfolio for industrial automation, motion, electrification and robotics - many opportunities to explore other business units / divisions as well as working abroad during the trainee program - a lot of collaboration with other business units - great team spirit and cohesion in many teams I worked with - great support to get further education / trainings on relevant topics, e.g. leadership

      Cons

      - area of responsibility is often limited as many decision makers are involved - processes are slow, innovation & change take time and are often hampered by legacy systems, hierarchy, etc.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Positive, healthy culture - company truly cares about its employees - Talented, diverse group of colleagues who are all a pleasure to work with - Supportive manager and management team who have empowered and encouraged me in my professional growth and development. No micromanagement. - The opportunity to be involved with / lead challenging projects and interface with global cross-functional teams. I love working at ABB and feel very fortunate to work for such an excellent company.

      Cons

      - Lack of structure in terms of processes and procedures which often creates confusion, headaches and frustration for everyone involved. - Challenges with systems & tools which can lead to inefficiency. - Large, global company with multiple layers so turnaround time can be on the slow side in trying to meet deadlines, achieve deliverables and / or resolve issues.

      You are at the mercy of your manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      ABB has great company policies globally

      Cons

      ABB AU has a very weird structure, each division head is sort of the CEO of their division and runs the team as they wish (even HR). Very toxic work culture, sick people are forced to work from office, managers have a free hand to do as they wish with their team (good/bad). Motion business division is the worst.
