Pros

good office location some really cool people working there

Cons

depends, where you end up in finance, there are few cool areas if you are lucky, but as a rule of thumb: heavily imbalanced workload, especially during closings management who is not able to really drive things and make changes happen huge imbalance of power GBS vs. markets (forget about changing things) lack of respect towards employees ABB values active only on paper, not in practice

Pros

- Exposure to large-scale manufacturing systems and cross-functional projects - Can build strong manufacturing and quality engineering experience quickly - Competitive pay and solid benefits for the area

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
