Pros

If competent, easy lateral movement between different areas of the company. Learn a lot about the medical device industry due to the different divisions under Abbott

Cons

Difficult moving up the ranks. Very difficult to do what you want considering that it's a large company and things move very slowly

Pros

Competitive pay and great benefits (3 weeks vacation to start, healthcare, 401k, profit sharing, and pension plan). Abbott is a company that once you start working, you can quickly see yourself being there a long time. Plenty of opportunities to move across divisions and nicely structured career path.

Cons

Abbott has always been a silo-ed company. The ineffective communication between corporate functions and the divisions can cause major road blocks for projects. This may recede over time as there are major initiatives forcing cross-functional and divisional cooperation.
