Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent and educated, international coworkers and peers. ABB has lots of procedures and protocols which lends to good amount of internal structure guiding employees, but this can lead to bureaucracy.

Cons

Business decisions are made by shareholders and corporate offices overseas, many degrees removed from the divisions and business units themselves. Hiring and layoffs may feel on a whim - this is a byproduct of a huge company, which does not realize on individual employee merit, but rather each employee is a number. There are examples of employees hired for only for several months then laid-off.

We are pleased to offer excellent benefits that includes permissive vacation and flexible work arrangements so that employees can balance work and life. Thank you for the review.

Pros

Ability to impact multiple business units and work with colleagues all over the world. Nice work environment and excellent teammates.

Still beholden to old and archaic computer networking policies and IT infrastructure. ABB is facing some stiff headwinds due to investor pressures.
