Abbott reviews

You cannot trust the corporate benefits. On my benefits site, I had access to legal descriptions of 401k benefits that were not most up to date, but I did not know that until after I left. There was no indication that the corporate managed, personalized site was providing me with out of date documents. When deciding to leave, I based the decision in part on the vesting schedule described in that legal notice. After separation and numerous calls to the benefits department, I was informed that the document available to me was out of date and a legal statement saying they have the right to change it at any time meant that I had no way to tell that my vesting schedule had been changed after my hire date and no legal recourse. That means that I forfeited a portion of their contributions that I had every reason to believe were mine. I had entertained the idea that I may want to return someday, but now I know that I cannot trust the big, giant corporate entity. I will not consider working for them again. If I can't trust them to give me up to date information or live up to the conditions under which I was hired then they don't deserve my talent.

Division has not launched a significant product since Proclaim and doesn't appear to be close to one in the future. Competitors beat them to MRI, Sensing,... etc. President of division appears to be in over his head and has surrounded himself with a management team that is not cable of running this business. Lots of tenured employees have left and a lot more to come. Turn over is high at this division and expect it to continue.
