      A miserable and regressive workplace culture will destroy your soul

      Senior counsel

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Generous pension package (if you stay long enough), immense turnover opens lots of internal opportunities, company makes products that (generally) help people

      Cons

      Restrictive and stifling environment, Legal Dep't devoid of meaningful work, cultureless, never-ending cycle of meetings, immense amount of administrative work, openly dismissive of innovation or new ideas, constant backstabbing (esp. thanks to lifers desperate to advance), terrible managers in Legal, incompetent admin staff

      Toxic culture, especially for women.

      Pros

      Stock options. Smaller division of a big company prestigious company.

      Cons

      Toxic work environment. Some women face sexual harassment and Human Resources won’t do anything about it. Gossiping and backstabbing is rewarded. Work life balance is non existent.

      Do not work for Abbott as an Engineer

      Pros

      The other engineers were, for the most part, friendly in regards to non-work topics, eating lunch together, etc.

      Cons

      Worst company I've ever worked for. If you are a competent engineer, LOOK ELSEWHERE. Management is not competent. They do not report issues up the chain so that the teams can work together to find solutions. Instead, they spend all their time finger pointing and trying to see how they can blame someone else. Morale is terrible, probably because this same finger pointing is pushed onto engineers. As an engineer, you don't want to collaborate or work together -- you want to say " my stuff works and yours doesn't so its not my fault". And the issues are not hard, technical issues -- if engineers, software, and test ever decided to put again their pointing fingers and come together, they could easily solve the issues with the product and get it out the door. This doesn't even touch on how messed up doc control is or how the quality and doc control get to dictate engineering practice instead of the engineers.
