Abbott reviews

Bad work plans, not empowering, no strategy for the future, no real brand management, top down management, very bad work/life balance, work is not rewarding, and no real actionable innovation. No training to speak of and leadership has a high amount of discord, separation, and back stabbing. Extremely high turnover as people last very little across roles especially in marketing. Promised great and challenging brand work and work/life balance which are all far from the reality and truth. No diversity to speak of especially above manager level. Do not accept relocation unless you plan to stay 3 years as they ask you to sign a 3 year agreement and do not tell you the cost of the relocation until after it is complete and you get a tax record but that is not all encompassing and they will have almost 50% not reported there which you do not find out about until you put in 2 weeks notice. They also will bend the rules for some and not for others, and "others" tend to be diverse. They have an entire internal relocation collections department that is fully staffed to collect relocation from departing employees.

Annual layoffs and constant outsourcing. Full time employees are a liability, so lots of contractors. Corporate philosophy is to grow by acquisition, internal R&D is not valued.
