Pros

Benefits are good. However, the economy has resulted in mass layoffs after Abbott took over from Guidant Corp.

Cons

Manufacturing environment is very regimented and detailed. No mistakes as they make medical device that go into people.

Pros

You get a feeling that you are truly helping people with the products that the company makes. There are great benefits. Salary is not always the most competitive, but the other benefits make up for it. There are many diverse aspects of the company and locations to work, so you can change careers and stay with the same company.

Cons

It is a large company, so you can get lost in the shuffle. You need to always look out for your best interests, as your management is not always looking out for your career.
