Pros
Great benefits- pay, healthcare and overall benefits are great. Good career development depending on your team and if you are willing to seek it out.
Cons
Abbott has a rough work culture. People here know how to work hard, but a lot of times it feels like we never got rewarded for our work. Generally, people are not friendly here and everybody has this kind of "wow things are so chaotic- haha" attitude here. Most people do not like their jobs and it shows because they are not willing to help others and often times choose to make processes more complicated than they need to be because they have no idea how other business functions operate. I worked in supply chain and I felt that management constantly was making business decisions that were not practical and did more harm then good. At one of the sites I worked at, management told us we would be switching ERP systems and the software implementation went incredibly poorly. It seemed that the decision was not thoroughly thought out and we had to do a site wide production stop because the system no longer fit our processes. Overall- I would not recommend working here unless you are passionate about healthcare. The needs of the business change constantly and it's not worth the stress if you aren't particularly passionate about healthcare or science.
