Pros

Living the easy life. Putting in 30 years of work like a bureaucrat. No stress, taking it slow on Mondays, even slower in the middle of the week, and Fridays are the slowest, but always pretending to be busy and stressed out!

Cons

ABB Baden resembles a frog striving to become an ox; despite its average business performance, the company lacks international diversity. Contrary to its claims of being a multinational giant, its operations are more comparable to those of a mid-sized enterprise. Establishing relationships with all managers and investing time with them is believed to facilitate career progression, as positions appear to circulate among them. Regrettably, those in leadership roles are not necessarily the most qualified. In a toxic culture with toxic individuals, they adhere to the supposed ABB ethical standard (who is only a mascarade). However, within the company's omerta, you may encounter mobbing, smiles in front and prepare to be stabbed in the back, and HR won't provide assistance; on the contrary. There are countless meaningless jobs where people are paid for doing nothing..

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.
