Job description did not match the work and culture probs
Pros
The facilities and physical environment is wonderful. They provide lots of tools and make/sell good products. People seem to care about their work. They seemed to do the right thing with employee safety with COVID and lab safety.
Cons
Although the job title was technical writer, at Abbott it is more of a production position/document control role (only ability to give suggestions to engineers/scientists who are the content creators) and this didn't match the job description or the description of the job discussed in the interview process. In my short time in the group, I experienced putdowns, silo behavior which made getting anything done difficult, and heard racist remarks about others. I felt like I was set up for failure (derailed in several meetings and scolded for doing what I was told to do), and the expectations for this position were unrealistic. In terms of corporate culture, it felt like going back in time 20 years or so.
