ABB reviews

Upper management is not great

Management by Cronyism: The facility is run by a "protected circle" of managers who have long-term personal friendships. Accountability does not exist because performance is secondary to loyalty. Lack of Technical Competency: Senior management transplanted from other facilities lacks a fundamental understanding of the large-scale products built here. This knowledge gap leads to terrible operational decisions. Hostile and Unprofessional Culture: The leadership style relies heavily on yelling, crossed boundaries, and trying to "dig up dirt" on team members to deflect from their own technical failures. The "Revolving Door" Effect: Morale is incredibly low. It is common to see qualified staff in departments like Process Engineering quit in under a year because the environment is so toxic. Retaliation Over Resolution: HR is not a safe resource. Reporting legitimate concerns regarding safety, management behavior, or operational failures results in targeted retaliation rather than corrective action.
