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).

Pros

Cons

Work-life balance can be inconsistent depending on department and production demands * Advancement opportunities may feel limited without moving into management or relocating * Communication and management consistency can vary between shifts/departments * Production pressure and changing priorities can create stress in quality-related roles * Some roles may require overtime or schedule flexibility that can be difficult for employees with family responsibilities * Recognition for process improvements and extra responsibilities may not always match workload expectations * Culture can feel more production-focused than employee-focused at times
