Pros

1. Relaxation for old people 😉 2. Brand name 3. You get glittery designation

Cons

Where should I start from, 1. Management is very old with outdated ideas and mental issues, as if they are running a primary school. 9 hours swiping policy like school. Or they will cut salary 😅 2. Full lobbying and ineligible people somehow surviving without doing anything. 3. Lack of trainings they think if people get trained, they will jump ships 4. Bad hikes, people who have loads of personal constraints are preferred rather than talents. (Showing less attrition rates) 5. No onsite opportunities. 6. Half of their development only reaches git repository 😅 7. Mostly people working in Poland doing real contribution. 8. Very few helpful people, all trying to save themselves to enjoy relaxation. 9. Don't join if you are passionate about tech stack and want to keep growing. It's a harsh reality for this big organization, I think which needs to reassess itself.

Pros

good salary and benefits, office location, home office, flexible working hours, 8-hours-workday

Cons

A lot of organisational chaos. Pursuit of automation and tracking everything is leading to less effect with more effort and to unnecessary administration around the real tasks. Tasks are becoming simple, repetitive, and boring, the workload higher and higher. Employees' voice is barely heard. No clearly defined career paths and poor support from the management. In my opinion HR in GBS is not department for ambitious people.

Missing the boat

Pros

From the line-level employee to mid-level management, the people are incredible. They are passionate about their work, their customers and doing a great job.

Cons

The senior level management to the board of directors at ABB are lost. There is a lack of strategy and where there is a strategy, it remains within the confines of headquarters never to see the light of day. The net result is a brain drain of some of their finest IoT and digital tallent, a stagnate share price and a bloated bureaucracy. For the sale of their employees and customers, I hope they find the means to get out of their own way.
