Abbott Labs – “Executive Management Inteview”

Pros

Great line of work, large and diversified company, good pay

Cons

Poor culture in US pharma - little regard for work/life; more focus on internal activities than outward customer and competitor focus

Advice to Senior Management

Provide more latitude to lower levels of management for decision-making. Trust and believe in their observations and recommendations. Create a vision/mission/strategy and hold to it - do not change frequently or let it blend into background.
