      Would not work at ABB again.

      Pros

      Lots of opportunities to learn multiple technologies.

      Cons

      Overall lack of training with lousy pay. The Calgary office is full of cliques, and if you are looking to advance in the organization you had better belong to the right one. Senior management is based out of Montreal and is poor, they do not understand the Alberta market and it was very frustrating to see the same strategies fail over and over again. No work in Western Canada! If you want to get experience on their systems you likely will be sent to a long term project in Ontario, the USA or internationally, with an insane amount of time away from home.

      Pros

      ABB is a good company that I really enjoyed working for. My co-workers were very good and I still keep in contact with many of them on a regular basis. The BU that I worked for supported and backed me up when needed. At times you get to work on some excellent projects that make a difference.

      Cons

      The management of the TA team leaves much to be desired. The lack of Honesty, Integrity, and just being approachable were lacking in abundance. The fear of retaliation was real and if you spoke up there was a real chance that you would be the focus of lies and being undermined by your manager. When someone loses the majority of their tenured and very effective staff in a 4 month period one would think that their manager would ask questions. When the reply given was that those who left were not good employees you as her manager might want to question the reason given. Weak front line managers.

      A slowly sinking ship

      General manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good base salary, decent benefits, extremely generous severance package

      Cons

      The Enterprise Software Group (formerly Ventyx) is in a downward spiral that ABB will absorb and eventually discard or digest.
