Pros

The culture at Abbott is to treat everyone (except contractors) with respect. Manufacturing is not outsourced and is done on site. Nice office area.

Cons

Contractors are not treated with respect and endure a hazing period of 1-2 years before they are brought on as a perm employee. They are not included in training of any new processes but are expected to integrate these new changes into their job.

Poor Management, even worse HR department

Pros

Medisense used to be a great company to work for, was a people company with great benefits, great work environment and great people! When Abbott brought Medisense out, they continued with the Medisense values, but it soon changed!!!

Cons

A lot of the production managers are out for themselves, and don't care who they tread on to get themselves noticed. They have no respect for their employees, even the ones who have been working there long term (10years plus). They supposedly have a whistle blowing policy, which is totally ignored when a complaint against management is made!! Investigation only involves interviewing the manager involved, and it is their word against yours!! HR are supposed to be impartial, but are known to side with management, which is why people are not whistle blowing, because they know what the outcome will be....and they are scared. They would rather be treated like crap!!!
