      Pros

      Great 401(k) match, flexibility, work from home, the learning opportunities are limitless, because ABB doesn't backfill, so it's a great resume builder but see cons.

      Cons

      They don't backfill so you end up doing the work of 4 people. The systems are a disaster - they never fully integrate acquisitions like Baldor (2011), Thomas & Betts (2012) and GEIS (2018) so it's an absolute mess. There are 3 different systems you have to navigate and each system has a completely different set of rules of how it works. This creates absolute chaos within the organization. They are not good at communicating to employees either. Group (Swiss HQ) does not understand the US market or benefits and therefore has a difficult time being successful in the US.

      Pros

      - Exposure to large-scale manufacturing systems and cross-functional projects - Can build strong manufacturing and quality engineering experience quickly - Competitive pay and solid benefits for the area

      Cons

      Work-life balance can be inconsistent depending on department and production demands * Advancement opportunities may feel limited without moving into management or relocating * Communication and management consistency can vary between shifts/departments * Production pressure and changing priorities can create stress in quality-related roles * Some roles may require overtime or schedule flexibility that can be difficult for employees with family responsibilities * Recognition for process improvements and extra responsibilities may not always match workload expectations * Culture can feel more production-focused than employee-focused at times
