Abbott Labs – “Ehh, ok place to work, but it feels like every other corporate pharma...”
Pros
One of the best reasons to work at Abbott would be that everyone really did know everyone's name and most managers were understanding about needing to take time off on short notice.
Cons
One less satisfying reasons to work at Abbott was that it was hard to be fully appreciated for what you did. They expected you to go above and beyond, but they had the nerve to give you an "average" - not great or even good - review to justify them NOT giving you a raise.
Advice to Senior Management
Leadership at Abbott needs to stop playing favorites and start opening up their eyes as to who the true team players are and who are the ones that blow hot air.
