Pros

Challenging work and great long term benefits (pension & RSU's) Relatively good opportunities for promotion and cross divisional opportunities (although it's gotten less in the last 10 years as divisions have started to get more protective of their employees and prevented them from moving to other divisions)

Cons

As with many large, publicly owned companies there is always an expectation for immediate results that often distract leaders from looking down the road to anticipate the changing business landscape. It's become harder and harder in the last 10 years to find developmental opportunities for those with potential.

Pros

The staff workers I supported as a contractor for a local office were wonderful, dedicated to their jobs and going the extra mile. Plus they were FUN to be with, always an internal office game from time to time ( a hoola-hoop contest one day and a totally off the wall rubber duck hunt). Top notch. That said, anybody above their office in management was questionable to a degree.

Cons

Outsourcing. Period. This move to shift IT, accounting and other functions to Wipro is a functional disaster. It hobbled these fine people in doing their jobs efficiently and accounting is costing Abbott money. And forget information technology, doesn't exist anymore. The pay was poor for scale and the decisions were mostly brain-dead dumb. Some individuals still exist in structure, but not many and the GSD help desk takes days to route a ticket from user to me
