Pros

- In general the workforce is excellent good work colleagues and people wise a good company.

Cons

- The management strategy and vision of future is terrible. In essence they are just securing themselves positions in the top sphere of the company and forgetting about this ABB location at all. - If you want to do Engineering and something technical this is not the place most of the work is outsource to ABB India so hardly no chance to learn anything. The company interest on you is to manage Indian Engineers from the UK. - Executing projects in general is really bad no order or consistency followed, the internal procedures are also ignored. Quality is a total missed here. - The company has been too many years working for the Oil and Gas where quality is really bad compared to any other controls systems and automation sector. The management does not want to hear about doing anything else. -Currently the company is making Engineers just them redundant managers are untouchable no matter their performance.

Pros

The management team works hard to encourage and support employees, recognizing that they are the company's greatest asset. Experienced team members are welcoming and take the time to train new employees, helping them succeed while emphasizing the importance of working safely. Leadership strives to be fair, consistent, and approachable. They actively listen to employee concerns, address issues in a timely manner, and foster a positive, supportive work environment where employees feel valued and respected.

Cons

One of the biggest drawbacks is the lack of air conditioning in the factory during the summer, making the work environment hot and at times uncomfortable. Overtime opportunities are also limited to a maximum of 56 hours per week, which may be disappointing for employees looking to work additional hours. While overtime is available, most employees can typically expect to work around eight hours of overtime each week.
