      Pros

      Used to be a good company when it was part of ABB and wasn't yet seen as the ugly duckling. In the past years, things have progressively become worse.

      Cons

      Say-do ratio is close to zero. the company is too slow and bureaucratic to stay competitive in a difficult market such as the energy distribution one. Maybe Hitachi will get things back on track, but I doubt they will be fast enough in stopping the free fall. A good 80% of the people hired from outside ABB in the past 5-10 years, especially at management level and especially those who dared to bring in a new perspective, have already left Power Grids again - what does this tell you?

      Pros

      The internship has been a genuinely good mix of research, engineering, and practical software work. I have been giving meaningful technical problems instead of busy work, with enough freedom to explore solutions while still having support from experienced engineers. The team culture is collaborative, thoughtful, and very open to questions. I have learned a lot about power systems, simulation software, high-performance computing, and how research ideas turn into tools that actually support engineering work

      Cons

      Like many large organizations, some processes can move slowly, especially around software access, approvals, and tooling. It can take time to get the full development environment set up, and working across different systems. That said, most of the issues are structural rather than team-related
