Pros

Great customers across multiple industries Strong engineering capabilities Opportunity to be shown how unimportant it is to be an American employee It is so fun and productive to work through a completely new strategy every six months Annual decreases in compensation provide such a delightful challenge to manage

Cons

Management team does not understand the connection between performance and compensation Significant disconnect between stated strategies and management behavior Management promises big and utterly fails to deliver Customers really get fed up with failed services, failed support, and failed follow-through It is impossible to motivate local account managers when they know that their earned contracts and commissions will be taken away by some other ABB business unit

Pros

I worked as an intern at the Corporate Research Centre in Daettwil, supervised by a senior research engineer. The engineers were innovative and knowledgeable. The environment was friendly and relaxed.

Cons

The work at the Research Centre at times felt disconnected from the needs of the Business Unit. However, as an intern I had minimal contact with employees outside the RC, so my impression may be skewed.
