Not many pros besides a reasonable salary and flexible schedule

Pros

Used to be a good company when it was part of ABB and wasn't yet seen as the ugly duckling. In the past years, things have progressively become worse.

Cons

Say-do ratio is close to zero. the company is too slow and bureaucratic to stay competitive in a difficult market such as the energy distribution one. Maybe Hitachi will get things back on track, but I doubt they will be fast enough in stopping the free fall. A good 80% of the people hired from outside ABB in the past 5-10 years, especially at management level and especially those who dared to bring in a new perspective, have already left Power Grids again - what does this tell you?

Extremely poor hiring process

Pros

Once you get in its great.

Cons

Recruiters are absolutely useless for this division. No one wants to call you back or talk on the phone. No response to emails. Its like these guys dont do anything. It doesn't matter if you are a new employee or an existing one these guys dont care. Extremely disappointed.
