Pros
Interesting work, challenging projects. Coworkers are easy to get along with.
Cons
Pay is on the lower end. Promotion opportunities are quite limited, and seem to hinge largely on who you know. Company structure values sales and marketing more than engineering. ABB Robotics is very good at squeezing out sales from existing products but is less interested in investing in innovative engineering R&D efforts. Every once in a while, management will come through and fire some people, sometimes without a clear reason, sometimes to cut costs, and other times as a way of scapegoating someone. Many very experienced people have been let go in this way. ABB has started talking a lot about how much it values Diversity and Inclusion, which is great, but I don't see anything actually happening other than panel discussions and PR. Management has also failed to deal with employees that are openly homophobic.
