Pros

I've met many wonderful people working at Abbott. Some of them have become true friends. Pay is good.

Cons

Abbott is a typical Anglo-Saxon, top-down organization where top management snaps their fingers and everyone comes running. This resulted in the most TOXIC environment I have ever experienced. Our leader was a case study of the narcissistic sociopath leader with no regards for others. Co-workers were shout at, intimidated & pestered... The whole department either left on their own, was fired or got on sick leave with burn-out symptoms. HR doesn't do anything about it: they're scared to go against the tiran. I've heard from other divisions and while not every leader is a monster the workload and pressure is consistently extremely high.

Pros

Learn many new things, especially for fresh graduates to earn some experience.

Cons

- Micro managed your work using their system to record and send it as a report by the end of your shift. - Workload is heavy while not only doing testing, you have to do other miscellaneous stuff like monthly ideas, equipment maintenance, and replying to emails in case the sample is out of specs. - Each sample has a turnaround time which is 6.5hrs as it is redundant just for their company goals. - The schedule planning timing for the sample to dry is concise for us to complete the testing and has to do risk release which has rushed most of the analyst - A fast-paced job which you may miss or skip your lunchtime. - 1 to 1 with your supervisor is not done monthly. - While asking for feedback about your growth, they do not care because if you do any mistakes, you will have a difficult time growing as they won't bother to nurture you.

Pros

The employee engagement activities are nice but theres no interaction. They just give us free food.

Cons

Abbott is one of the worst medical manufacturing company. Division Structural Heart in the department Amplatzer is the worst. The managers, supervisors, and leads are incompetent which is negatively affecting both the work environment and company culture.  The manager is hiring inexperienced and incompetent people placed in charge - the blind leading the blind. The manager and supervisors are also choosing people in their favor to take on more responsibilities and to become leads. They will not hire the experienced, competent, and top performers to become lead nor to give them more responsibilities. Play high in favoritism and politics. Lack of communication. High employee turnover rate and has a toxic work culture. - Teams and individuals are not able to collaborate effectively, let alone to build a high performing organization. - Fail to supply promotions or raises for those with more experience and/or top performers. - Unhealthy work life balance where operators are working overtime regularly. - No proper training, tools, and development opportunities. - The manager and supervisor on first shift was seen in a meeting flirting with eachother. - Everything there seems like it's not working properly from your company badge of not being able to punch in to timecard machines reading your punches incorrectly to bad computer network and programming to poor working conditions in the dry room and more. - All the machines are old with no workplace ergonomics. Employees complain about their fingers, hands, wrist, and backache are hurting. Where is all the money in this department?
