      Would not work at ABB again.

      Pros

      Lots of opportunities to learn multiple technologies.

      Cons

      Overall lack of training with lousy pay. The Calgary office is full of cliques, and if you are looking to advance in the organization you had better belong to the right one. Senior management is based out of Montreal and is poor, they do not understand the Alberta market and it was very frustrating to see the same strategies fail over and over again. No work in Western Canada! If you want to get experience on their systems you likely will be sent to a long term project in Ontario, the USA or internationally, with an insane amount of time away from home.

      Pros

      You experience the worst which will prepare in the future. The very few young souls which make you get through your day.

      Cons

      Too much tribal knowledge with little to none training. You need to scream to be heard. All in all, a poor culture. Departments are used to working in an archaic manner and refuse to be proactive. Very reluctant to promote change. Sheep mentality.
