Promotion without relocation is difficult - long hours to achieve excellence - legal and ethics guidelines have made working with physicians more difficult - oversight paperwork has become a major factor in the jobs.

Pros

Great place to learn, or retire. The company is very conservative and therefore is stable. Layoffs do happen in some divisions, but are really due to sales and margin reasons.

Cons

Old culture, very old. Heavy topside and management needs to thin out. Very, very conservative and beurocratic and slow to adapt to new processes / technology.

Pros

Good pay; room for advancement. Most upper management was competent, fair and caring. In fact, I would have to say that the management at Abbott was probably the best caliber of any company I have worked for, large or small. And we all know that having a good boss can really improve your work life quality.

Cons

Where I worked, you had to be willing to move if you wanted to advance your career.
