Pros

The benefits are really great and room for career development/perhaps advancement. Also there are many affinity groups so you can find people you share hobbies with. There are many divisions within the company so you are able to move very easily within the company if you build the right networks. They offer a career development program which for entry level employees can be beneficial and teach them more about the overall Corporation. A lot of the work force is currently retiring so there will most likely be many opportunities for promotion. They have a shuttle so if you live downtown then can easily commute. The Clara Abbott Foundation helps a lot of people who are in need; I have heard of them doing some great things for people at no cost.

Cons

Micromanagement at least in departments in my area. The area where it is located is pretty much isolated from the bigger cities.

Great place to settle down

Pros

If you want to settle down, this is a great company to work for where family always comes first. Politics and bureaucracy exist like in all big companies. You just learn to go with the flow after fighting with these for sometime. The Sr. Leadership does an amazing job in focussing divisional / departmental efforts in the things we do at Abbott. I have seen most of the managers synch up with Company values relatively quickly and this helps individual contributors in many ways. The company has great benefit package (company matching 401K, pension plan, yearly bonus, a decent medical/dental plan etc.,).

Cons

If you are career driven performing an IT role, your career choices are; limited.

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.
