Abbott Reviews

Pros

The professional pride on display at Abbott is well earned; the standards for success are high. Great support from all levels of management.

Cons

There are none- really. This company doesn't seem to miss anything.

Pros

Great Pay and Benefits, World-Class Products that substantially improve the quality of life for many, Dedicated and motivated personnel who want to make a difference!

Cons

On-boarding, direction and training (e.g., read/understand) is incredibly poor, Processes not fully developed/integrated between cross-functional groups (e.g., Engineering, Quality, Supply-Chain, Operations), Continuous remediation due to poorly defined specifications, processes and an unwillingness to change "global" processes due to the impact on other divisions, Typical work week of 55-60+ hours due to poor resource management/planning, Apathetic management which ignores the employees work/life-balance, Poor management interaction; no interest in facilitating employee advancement .

Pros

Decent pay, good vacation/ sick time, great health care options (I pay nothing for insurance), good perks, job flexibility, lots of room to move around.

Cons

Disorganized, questionable management, it's hard working with other people who don't know their jobs, too many people pass the buck, job security is a 5/10, with a constant fear of layoffs, lack of cohesion between departments, sometimes the company doesn't put patient needs over company needs.
