ABB reviews

Mismanagement from very top down to middle management impacts business and eventually the employees pay a heavy price. Examples, whenever someone left the firm in Phoenix, their tasks were piled onto remaining staff, which was already clearly overburdened; customers were left waiting for service or parts replacement for years, in some cases; H1B staff were paid less than going labor market rates (which is illegal). Due diligence and compliance are also weak. Hence, large stock holders are pressuring board to reform. See Activist investor Cevian Capital AB. Yet, instead of resolving these issues, ABB reduces costs by laying off hundreds of highly skilled, high-performing employees, and keeps the leaders responsible for bad decisions.

Constant change. Management cannot decide on direction. Moved jobs then moved them back less than a year later. No strong leadership. Under qualified leaders. Current management concerned less with what is best for the company and more about how to forward their own careers.
