Pros

good salary and benefits, office location, home office, flexible working hours, 8-hours-workday

Cons

A lot of organisational chaos. Pursuit of automation and tracking everything is leading to less effect with more effort and to unnecessary administration around the real tasks. Tasks are becoming simple, repetitive, and boring, the workload higher and higher. Employees' voice is barely heard. No clearly defined career paths and poor support from the management. In my opinion HR in GBS is not department for ambitious people.

Missing the boat

Pros

From the line-level employee to mid-level management, the people are incredible. They are passionate about their work, their customers and doing a great job.

Cons

The senior level management to the board of directors at ABB are lost. There is a lack of strategy and where there is a strategy, it remains within the confines of headquarters never to see the light of day. The net result is a brain drain of some of their finest IoT and digital tallent, a stagnate share price and a bloated bureaucracy. For the sale of their employees and customers, I hope they find the means to get out of their own way.
