Pros

Nice colleagues are still around, from the ABB days.

Cons

management is extremely short-sighted, with no long-term strategy or interest in working towards long-term results. Lots of old issues on deliveries, sales has to manage these rather than investing in new deals. Complete mission impossible for salespeople, and extreme pressure from management has created an environment with lots of health issues. You have to fight to get commission paid out. Talks about diversity, this is not the case and no inclusion - groups of people are building their own empiries.

Pros

The internship has been a genuinely good mix of research, engineering, and practical software work. I have been giving meaningful technical problems instead of busy work, with enough freedom to explore solutions while still having support from experienced engineers. The team culture is collaborative, thoughtful, and very open to questions. I have learned a lot about power systems, simulation software, high-performance computing, and how research ideas turn into tools that actually support engineering work

Cons

Like many large organizations, some processes can move slowly, especially around software access, approvals, and tooling. It can take time to get the full development environment set up, and working across different systems. That said, most of the issues are structural rather than team-related
