Pros

Good Wages, Start @ 3 weeks Vacation, Pension, 401K and Stock Incentives once you reach a certain grade level. Like to promote from within.

Cons

The company likes to brag about a Work/Life balance, the employees always joked that if you wanted a life don't work for Abbott. Overstated, but they expect a lot of you.

Pros

Great salary & benefits package. On-site cafeteria offers delicious, healthy and affordable meals/snacks from 7:00 am thru lunch.

Cons

There is definitely a culture of "heirchy" embedded throughout the organization. Very much focused on results / bottom line with little to no regard for the impact long hours, unrealistic expectations is having on hard working, dedicated employees. I saw a pretty high turnover during my tenure due to stress, lack of clarity around roles & responsibilities.

Pros

Global, diversified, many opportunities, **benefits (pension, 401k, AND profit sharing), many good people, many good managers

Cons

Company no longer cares about employees as it once did. Senior management concerned with short-term perceptions and managing their careers more than managing the business. Despite making various lists of great companies to work for, Abbott is not as well respected as it use to be. The company business model is to purchase other companies with products that can be marketed vs innovation. Would not recommend working at Abbott in IT. Corporate IT culture is VERY toxic since 2015. CIO is not well respected. Expect continued outsourcing and talent loss.
