      Pros

      A large company like Abbott offers a great deal of potential if you know where to look. I know several people who have been able to climb the corporate ladder from the most humble beginnings.

      Cons

      It wasn't always a good thing for those people to climb the corporate ladder from the most humble beginnings...

      Mediocre at best

      Pros

      At Abbott Vascular, you will learn about the process of developing medical devices, the various agencies involved in getting devices approved, the many aspects of the business environment that effect product decisions and the politics of a medical device company.

      Cons

      Abbott Vascular is not interested in supporting R&D and as a result hardly any products reach the launch stage. Middle management is self-serving and do not work in the best interest of the business - there are very few manager remaining who work in the interest of the company to support their best employees. They would rather demoralize anyone who appears to show strengths that they themselves do not have.

      Could (and should) be a great place to work.

      Pros

      It is a company founded on caring for people and trying to make their lives better through health care.

      Cons

      There are two strata within the company. 1) Those who are below mid-management who are expected (and usually do) produce measurable results which contribute to the bottom line. 2) Mid-management and above who spend 99% of their time playing political power games and contributing nothing to the company (and at the same time making the work of the first group harder).
