Pros

Solid company with strong fiscal policies.

Cons

Not always great communication from the top to all the employees. Management usually makes decisions for the right reasons but when people don't know what those reasons are, they become skeptical.

Pros

location, good people to work with (non manager type), good general benefits but low pay though. good place to work for working mother, especially if you know how to work the system. on site day care, on site banking,

Cons

Abbott likes to low ball people on salary, especially when they know you have limited choices. General HR mentality is to hire 10 cheap labor rather than hiring one quality labor. HR is lousy. big recognitions always given to the senior managers, but the poor guy who worked 60 hours week to complete the project didn't get squad. cafeteria is lousy, half-ass ethnic food, high price.

Pros

Abbott pays well and generally has good benefits. Abbott has the muscle to hire from the upper percentiles of the applicant pool. People are proud to work at Abbott and it is a leader in Lake county. Abbott has deep pockets and can affrod the best in technology.

Cons

For IT professionals the availability of training varies depending on the budget climat in your specific area. Abbott tends to place resources in "in favor" areas and neglects others. Sometimes the Lake County atmosphere can overwhelm the advantages of being near a world class city (Chicago). People can be a little too self satisfied with "Mother Abbott". Abbott IT can tend towards the one of each in a category mish-mash.
