      Pros

      Long history of innovative products. Stable management teams. Most employees have a true concern for environment. Global company with global product reach makes for interesting markets. People with good ideas can bring them forward.

      Cons

      Since the management is stable and the organization is flat, there is little upward mobility. Though there is a call for innovation, some middle managers prefer to maintain the staus quo to ride out until retirement, thus they can appear to be un-supportive of new ideas.

      Rampant European Incompetence

      Pros

      OK work environment in Marietta HQ. Competent people at the VP level and below in Marietta. Atlanta area is very comfortable living environment. Cost of Living is low, relative to Solvay salaries.

      Cons

      Totally incompetent and Eurocentric leadership. Huge divide between the European and US approaches to clinical and regulatory development. Abbott is very likely to clean house by the end of 2010, and retain few Solvay R&D employees.
