Pros

Benefits are good. However, the economy has resulted in mass layoffs after Abbott took over from Guidant Corp.

Cons

Manufacturing environment is very regimented and detailed. No mistakes as they make medical device that go into people.

Pros

A good place for starting out as a non Ph.D. scientist. You learn the ins and outs of corporate life and the realities of dealing with the FDA.

Cons

Rather low pay compared to the industry standard. WAY too much MBA nonsense to comply with that adds no value to you or the product.
