      Pros

      Interesting work Good feeling of helping people 401(k) plan is good

      Cons

      Senior Management do not seem to know what they are doing. If they weren't all good friends from years back they would have all fired each other by now. Almost all Senior Management came out of Allergan and those in other branches who developed successful businesses independently are psuhed out. There are too many changes of plan. Management take care of the details and don't seem to worry about the big picture. A lot of good people have left and there is a gloomy feeling that things will continue to get worse. The stock price supports that. There is WAY too much interest in business management bs and not enough focus on product and "gettn er done"

      Abbott is a comfortable place to work but slow to change

      Pros

      At Abbott, there are lots of opportunities and it easy to move between areas if you are willing to network. The benefits are good (healthcare, 401k, on-site fitness center, Clara Abbott organization offers classes such as financial management). It is easy to achieve a good work-life balance.

      Cons

      Abbott loses many good people because it does not provide opportunities and salary for those that deserve it. The company is slow to change. There are significant culture and resource differences depending on the group you work for.

      Abbott taught me many things that I am thankful to know

      Pros

      Great culture, Good place to learn people skills, great benefits, good brand name, Stable job usually, great work-life balance (one of the best you will ever find). A few years here will get you many friends that could be resources for life. Great place for minorities as well. They have an onsite daycare and a good community.

      Cons

      The work sometimes gets slow as you wait for other departments to give you some deliverable. You could end up with a bad team or a not-so-good manager and that could affect your overall performance, reputation etc. The key is to learn to manage expectations and people (even your superiors). A confident person is seen as a leader and that's what you need to blaze your own path through the company. Many stalwarts work here. You need to identify them and once you work with them, you will be taken up in the organization, provided you have what it takes to perform well.
