Pros

At Abbott, there are lots of opportunities and it easy to move between areas if you are willing to network. The benefits are good (healthcare, 401k, on-site fitness center, Clara Abbott organization offers classes such as financial management). It is easy to achieve a good work-life balance.

Cons

Abbott loses many good people because it does not provide opportunities and salary for those that deserve it. The company is slow to change. There are significant culture and resource differences depending on the group you work for.
