Pros

Good solid company with great people. Salary is above average. Benefits are average. Overall good experience working at ABB just frustration and the time it takes to implement product changes / enhancements.

Cons

Products are very slow to be updated and released to market. It can take years to get a new feature implemented. Not market competitive because of this but expected to displace competitors with outdated products. European feel to products not well excepted in the US. Constant change makes employees feel uneasy about their jobs. Not enough product support staff.
