Pros

Name recognition is strong with ABB. ABB is a strong competitor with MV Switchgear and transformers. there are good people working at ABB.

Cons

senior leadership is "product" minded, not project minded. It's not that they don't understand, they are smart, but they seem set in their ways. With EPC customers especially the expectations are far igher than what ABB's Sr leadership is willing to concede. Engineering and administrative support are (were) completely overwhelmed with no relief in sight.
