Pros

Short term job until you are eliminated - gives you a chance to polish your resume, gain experience and look for a more rewarding job

Cons

Abbott has been shedding IT personnel for years and outsourcing their jobs starting with those with the most pension seniority. Expect pensions to be phased out. Management is totally focused on their bonuses which are multiples of their salaries. Projects never fail (see bonus above). Statistics are massaged to provide the desired results (see bonus above). The work environment is toxic as you never know from week to week whether or not you will have a job. Creativity is either plagiarized to killed Managers are abusive - they scream in your face that you're lucky to have a job and you had better fall in line Manager/Employee affairs are blatant - not that we care what you're doing just hold up your end of the job. The IT attitude towards women is mysogynistic, particularly, but not exclusively, from Indians and Muslims; women are definitely the 76% in Abbott IT.
