Pros

Great compensation (401k, bonus, cash profit sharing,) Parent company (Abbott) is strong Opportunities to relocate to field offices or even international positions Great work experience for the resume Opportunities for career growth if you work hard

Cons

Old-school style managers LOTS of politics Layoffs occur every ~2 years Little flexibility in hours and working from home Culture often requires you to work nights and weekends to complete projects. Lots of 'firedrills' CEO is great but management at Nutrition headquarters is subpar.

Great brands, poorly run

Business Outlook

Pros

Great brands, good pay, good training, and a broad spectrum of opportunities

Cons

Abbott is a pretty hierarchical organization and it's a very short term focused organization. It is all about the quarterly earnings which results in spending cuts, rash decisions, and business disruption. Current leadership is running a very good company the wrong way and it is sad to see.

Pros

None. This company should be revised by the FTC, DOJ, and many others.

Cons

Tone at top is all about earnings and antitrust violations. No one is smarter than the CEO.
