Dislikes
I want to write this review to specifically talk about the Group Head of Audit - AMEA. I do not know whether he is still working there or not but I am most likely guessing he is still there and he is one of the reason that I hate the company.
This person is a treasure trove of knowledge when it comes to audit and business practices within Middle East and the world where the ABB offices were located but, as a person, I rate him negatively.
He was the most arrogant; foul-mouthed and dominating person I have ever seen. Along with this, he had anger management issues and he displayed complete lack of respect for his team members. I have personally seen how he has insulted the team members so atrociously if they either think differently or do not ascribe to his views. He is the most abominable human on this planet and he has no feelings for anyone within the team. Even a simple conversation with him is a challenge because you never know how this guy would even react and he finds unnecessary reason to shout at his people. I do not understand how this person is even made to stay in the company for more than 20 years and no one from the senior management in ABB Head Office or Human Resource take an action against him.
What was even more worse is that he had a Hub Manager working under him who was his replica when it comes to behaviour. Both of them prided at the fact that they have anger issues and boast about how they scold their team members. Even the schools have been instructed to not insult or hit the children and here, in a world of so-called qualified professionals where we (Auditors) are supposed to be presented as a hallmark of excellence in terms of knowledge and personality, these two disgusting individuals are a black spot in the auditing field.
I have never come across such an unprofessional; bad-mouthed and arrogant senior staff in my years of working. I am sure if they hear this, they will say, "You haven't seen the worse." I do not care whether there is good or bad in the world around - when they are in a senior position, they should learn to behave like a human being and not a cold-hearted maniacs.
If the HR / PR team is reading this review, I would suggest you take this feedback seriously because I never had a chance to say this when I was in the company between 2016-2018. If this is the kind of culture and people existing in a large company like ABB, you are indirectly promoting toxicity in this workplace and allowing such people's hubris to grow multi-fold.
For those who have read my review, please note that if you do not get a good vibe during the interview stage, please do not accept the job offer in Internal Audit over here. Their behaviour gave me a mental trauma and it has taken years for me to get out of it. I do not wish the same for any sane professional....Read More

It's a global company that provides extensive business and learning platform for the staff. It enjoys a brand name that is good on the resume
Dislikes
1) Does not believe in keeping abreast with latest technology. It is evident from the lack / delayed investment in tools, which its competitors are already having it to create a market edge
2) Management does not appear accountable or is empowered to take decision
3) The internal audit team is down-right rude and uses unprofessionallanguage when communicating with the staff. The Head of Internal Audit, even though is highly experienced and knowledgeable, has a foul attitude and arrogance and shouts at his staff in a condescending manner. If anyone tries to reason with him, the only way he responds is by shouting and using abusive language to make people understand. He keeps on telling that there are no stupid questions and berates anyone who even asks questions
4) Similar to point 3, there is a culture whereby employees are allowed to ask questions and then made to feel inferior when they have it clarified the second time...Read More

I only speak from Internal Audit perspective. The company is a great place to work but if the staff leaves the company, it is only because of the manager or the management that runs it.
