Pros

At Abbott Vascular, you will learn about the process of developing medical devices, the various agencies involved in getting devices approved, the many aspects of the business environment that effect product decisions and the politics of a medical device company.

Cons

Abbott Vascular is not interested in supporting R&D and as a result hardly any products reach the launch stage. Middle management is self-serving and do not work in the best interest of the business - there are very few manager remaining who work in the interest of the company to support their best employees. They would rather demoralize anyone who appears to show strengths that they themselves do not have.

Pros

The best part of the division is that I get to work for the 2 biggest names in the pharma business. Very large bonus checks $$$$ and confidence is high enough to buy plenty of AbbVie stock without guessing when its time to jump off.

Cons

The hype about the division is purely speculation, no perks mentioned about whether one company will benefit over the other or about the new facility. The culture at Abbott is disconnected, see Advice to Management. It is not easy looking forward to work at Abbott/AbbVie. Regarding the stupidity in the name AbbVie, the Vie in AbbVie would be a backdoor for mergers, as in AbbPfizer, AbbBax, BaxAbb, AbbJohnson, etc. now that the value is half the price, the opportunity is greater. So actually its a vision for the future, yet stupid for the person living in the now so you may want to get over it.
