Abbott reviews

Management, especially in Center of Excellence is totally incompetent. Multiple people are "in charge" that 1) Have no business being in charge but were the popular choice and 2) too many in charge so nothing get accomplished. Software process is so scattered that it is very cumbersome and not beneficial to the product. Many times very good suggestions that have worked and continue to work outside of Abbott are ignored because the managers don't understand. Abbott culture has some serious problems for a technology company - selling the chemicals is very obviously the most important rather than having sound technology.

Worked on an average of 70 hrs per week. Management's attitude is that this is expected. When I quit I was handed a check - that was it. No exit interview or explanation that my benefits would be cut off once I walked out the door. Upper management is rude and condescending. Never appreciated, told that we will not receive any parties or anything for Christmas. No company picnic for years, no pats on the back.
