Pros

The clout of working for the major robotics manufacturer.

Cons

Had 3 managers in under a year. Training consisted of being thrown in the fire for skills that I did not articulate during the interview with the 1st of 3 managers (he quit the week I started).

Pros

- Positive, healthy culture - company truly cares about its employees - Talented, diverse group of colleagues who are all a pleasure to work with - Supportive manager and management team who have empowered and encouraged me in my professional growth and development. No micromanagement. - The opportunity to be involved with / lead challenging projects and interface with global cross-functional teams. I love working at ABB and feel very fortunate to work for such an excellent company.

Cons

- Lack of structure in terms of processes and procedures which often creates confusion, headaches and frustration for everyone involved. - Challenges with systems & tools which can lead to inefficiency. - Large, global company with multiple layers so turnaround time can be on the slow side in trying to meet deadlines, achieve deliverables and / or resolve issues.
