Too big, too fast

Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely focused on safety, both in the office space and factory.

Cons

Consistently get it wrong when attempting to understand why their business is performing poorly. They are hyper focused on the short term numbers, and have no long term strategy. Constantly eliminating potions to meet the numbers - damaging those that remain.

Business Outlook

Pros

- In general the workforce is excellent good work colleagues and people wise a good company.

Cons

- The management strategy and vision of future is terrible. In essence they are just securing themselves positions in the top sphere of the company and forgetting about this ABB location at all. - If you want to do Engineering and something technical this is not the place most of the work is outsource to ABB India so hardly no chance to learn anything. The company interest on you is to manage Indian Engineers from the UK. - Executing projects in general is really bad no order or consistency followed, the internal procedures are also ignored. Quality is a total missed here. - The company has been too many years working for the Oil and Gas where quality is really bad compared to any other controls systems and automation sector. The management does not want to hear about doing anything else. -Currently the company is making Engineers just them redundant managers are untouchable no matter their performance.
