I worked at Abbott Labs full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Great products, dedicated employees - those who are left.

Cons – The changes never end, work was constant turmoil. The last 5 years have seen employees replaced with cheap, untrained contract help yet management compensation soars.

Advice to Senior Management – Prune management from top to bottom - you are tripping all over yourselves, interfering and impeding those who actually have something to do.

I worked at Abbott Labs full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Abbott was a great learning experience and provided a chance to try new things. They are well financed and open to new ideas.

Cons – Too much change at one time leads to uncoordinated projects, delays, impacts to customers, and product quality, all of which can be avoided with proper project management.

Advice to Senior Management – Yes project management is an additional overhead cost, but invest in it now and your long term costs and impacts will be minimized.
