Great products - Poor Company Culture

Pros

Abbott Point of Care is a small division of Abbott, so you have the opportunity for exposure to many facets of the business and levels of the organization. It is an opportunity-rich environment. Compensation is quite competitive for similar positions within the industry. Opportunities for growth within the division are limited, but if you are willing to relocate there are a tremendous amount of opportunities across Abbott.

Cons

The division lets people go at least once a year making the organization always in the midst of change. Employees are always wondering and speculating about who is next and when the next layoff will be. In my career I have never seen so many people let go and so often.

Badly let down

Pros

Great products, passionate people, quality management and processes very good. Not bad pay higher up, not good lower down. Good healthcare.

Cons

Bullying, and people in Senior positions because of who they know regardless of being completely incompetent, even in the most basic skills. HR not trusted at all by employees. Don't complain because they will stitch you up. Poor development of less senior employees. Lucky of you go on one training course in 5 years. Mass Abbott redundancies of long term employees, and redundancy pay only statutory minimum. So for example 20 years service will only give you a couple of thousand pounds. HR can be very sinister and intimidating. Can be very cliquey and people can be excluded and minorities discriminated against. Senior management will often support this discrimination.

Treat employees unfairly . Unfair reviews. Everyone out to get each other. I wouldn't recommend anyone to work here. High turnover rates.
