Pros

I don't have anything to write.

Cons

I am in this company for more than 5 yrs. and I can tell you that the people in the upper heirarchy get paid good. But for you to move up there is quite difficult because of internal politics and old age govt. company attitude. The HR as usual is good for nothing. Their policies are better for the new joinees rather than the ones who have served for this company for many years. Here the FCA ( Functional Competence Assessment) is a Scam! GpM ( Global Performance Mgmt.) is a Scam! The HR and the finance team are first of all not reachable, they will hardly reply back when messaged. They lack basic courtesy for employers. Good for nothing departments. The employees with less package are given higher percentages of increment and the vice versa, so as to promote equal pay. Then why the heck will the employee try to perform better when they know the increment is going to be less. And don't even start about medical policies. They are here to loot us in the name of health care and this company does nothing to reduce the premium. Total Waste!

Pros

Lower level employees care. Management doesn't care to hear about the cultural issues they face

Cons

ABB should have learned what made Hitachi good, rather than dropping their standards to ABB's level. Management only cares if the problem is elevated to their manager. HR abdicated all responsibilities. Comfortable with the status quo. Every level of management says "you are not in a silo", but all the departments are only worried about not getting in trouble.

Pros

Coworkers are supportive and great to work with. Environment is alright if you're a developer who doesn't mind red tape and can avoid sticking your neck out. Any other role, beware!

Cons

Defect tickets get 10+ people involved before finding someone who can work on them. Teams are shuffled around on a feature-by-feature basis. No sense of ownership, empowerment, or cohesion. Cargo cult agile where work is assigned top-down on a waterfall schedule. Need to ask approval for this and that, which often gets no response. Anyone with a sense of initiative quickly backs into the hedges like Homer Simpson when they get a whiff of this environment. Features are piled on with nearly no opportunities to address technical/design debt, resulting in weak and slow products. Junior-level devs get dumped into projects without any direction, contributing to the aforementioned point.
