Pros

I worked at Abbott more than 20 years. I loved it until the last year and a half or so. Pay and benefits were good. You have 401K (that the company contributes to) and well as pension and yearly profit sharing. Start with 3 weeks vacation, increase to 4 at 12 years. Good benefits for medical leave (although not as good as when I started). I was well trained for all of the jobs I did, up until the last one.

Cons

The next to last position I was in had virtually no training and no best practices. The manager was clueless and had obvious favorites in the group. I was informed I was being moved in house after being in the field nearly 10 years. No discussion. I was eventually fired just a few months after my 20th anniversary. I had no conversation with HR, no exit interview. Although I miss a steady paycheck, the company just is not the same as it was when I started. So many departments are now completely remote, and the training programs are not what they once were. My friends who are still there are all overworked and trying to do more with less with no more compensation.

Pros

Abbott does treat its long term employees with some respect. However, contractors are gone as soon as the next wave of layoffs is announced.

Cons

They took a gem of a company called Guidant and performed a Purge on the 4000 employees. All that was left when the dust settled was the remnants of a great company to work for. Guidant gave bonuses sometimes to the tune of 50% of the employees base salary. Abbott Vascular is nothing like the once proud company-Guidant.
