Pros

These are reasons to join Abbott Nutrition: - Benefits (Health, PTO, Cash Profit Sharing, 401k): You will need to utilize every PTO day (if you're lucky enough to get approval of the days off) and health coverage; stress of micromanagement and constant work depletes all personal happiness. - Opportunity to work with talented and intellectual co-workers: Many of these people will leave the company due to the absence of creativity and intellectual conversation in the workplace. - Great resume builder and catalyst for future positions: This is of upmost importance as you will be leaving the position within 1-3 years and other prospective companies will reach out to you with employment opportunities.

Cons

- Work/Life Balance = Non-existent - Upper Management = Political Nightmare - Corporate Mentality= Profit over People - Culture = Fake - Stress = 24/7

Awful culture

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay, particularly bonus and RSUs at the more senior levels.

Cons

ADC has a horrible, bullying - even cruel - culture, where anyone who challenges authority, or is deemed to have contributed to an issue that prevents senior management from making bonus, is kicked out. Years of loyal service can suddenly mean nothing. A spineless HR function does nothing to stop this. There's a clique of senior managers who look to take the credit for everything and blame for nothing. In addition, the work is relentlessly tedious, driven by fire drills from senior management, and often low value add, and job cuts, to drive profit, have increased the workload to the extent a sensible work life balance is impossible. There's very little career development other than on the job training. Other than this, a great place to work.
