    Great place to settle down

    Feb 20, 2020 - Global Digital Marketing and Communication Manager in Bengaluru
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The politics is visibly less than other places The organization is so huge, you can work on various roles People are generally nice and kind the work culture and approach is more conservativework culture and approach is more conservativework culture and approach is more conservative than aggressive you know you are working for a company that has been there for 130 years

    Cons

    The work culture and approach is more conservative than aggressive- this can be a bas thing too. The company changes, constanlty. within two years enerite structure will change, and by the time you understand the new structure and build you roadmap, the structure changes again. right from the CEO to the bottom. salaries are really low. some bad managers are there. smart manager who fail to meet their targets and ensure they find a scapegoat to blame.

    Great learning opportunity with lots of support from colleagues

    Jun 30, 2014 - Accounts Payable Intern in Singapore
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The company's finance department has an excellent work culture where every employee is made to fee valued. Colleagues are always willing to help. Young staff also frequently organized birthday celebrations. Enjoyable working atmosphere!

    Cons

    Due to large size of company, there could be many invoices to process in the Accounts Payable department. However with the new invoice scanning system the amount of workload for staff could be reduced significantly.

    Good place to work with the right manager

    Jan 17, 2019 - R&D Engineer in Greenville, SC
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    ”Flexible” hours Challenging subject matter Nice working environment People overall are nice and easy to get along with Very nice lab and equipment Healthy and safe work culture. We are encouraged to stretch and exercise during the day ABB is slowly moving in with much better policies and benefits Lots of smarty pants people to learn from

    Cons

    Local managers interpret some policies however they want with no accountability (like the new flexible hours policy) ABB vacation policies still haven’t been applied to their adopted Baldor people. Projects drag on and on waiting on layers of approval Too many alpha males roaming the building Pay is so-so HR is farmed out and is the worst Some managers are not good managers of people and micro manage you Raises are insulting Good luck getting a promotion Tendency to make a science project out of the most basic ideas
