Pros

- Colleagues are good - Free Parking

Cons

1) Bad onboarding, Very little to zero induction into the job role and expect to carry out miracles. 2) Not enough training was provided for the role as I was not from an electrical background. s. 3) Micromanagement, if you are in the office. they will ask to visit customers when you are visiting customers they expect you to be in the office. 4) Ongoing jobs were not handed over to me when took over customer key accounts. 5) No guidance in daily job and your role. 6) Terminated my contract even before the probation was over, reason said that was performing up to standard within 3 months. asked the management if they practiced extending probation, was told that ABB does not practice extending probation 7) My last advice to future employees applying for this role. please be aware of the factor you might be cut off suddenly without any warning.

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
