Pros

There are some great people at this company. Most locations have a great onsite cafeteria where you can purchase Abbott products at a substantial discount.

Cons

Extremely disorganized organization. Management is terrible. They push cost savings and innovation but don't recognize your efforts and turn down all innovative ideas. And don't dare bring any ideas to anyone above your manager! If you do, you can pretty much kiss your job goodbye. There are many positions being outsourced so there are several foreign contractors both on and off site. There is an awful language barrier which causes inefficiencies and multiple errors. Positions are constantly being eliminated causing the work to be distributed amongst the remaining employees often resulting in 60 hour plus work weeks. In my experience, my manager was literally a complete liar. She would tell me one thing but tell my coworker the complete opposite. Certain people in management positions were placed in these positions without any management experience or training.

Pros

Decent benefits and reasonable salary. Nice working conditions and good location. Opportunity to transfer to different business units or divisions domestically and internationally.

Cons

Poor quality functional management and worse leadership. Undervalues employees. Expects total dedication and do anything attitude but doesn't offer the same in return.
