Abbott Employee Reviews about "culture"

Cons

If you are a woman of color, do not dare to ask for growth you will be labelled rude by the male manager. If you are a woman of color, your male manager will take credit for your work and label you unprofessional if you ask him any questions. Women who have survived here embody the abusive trait of their male counter part. Discrimination of women of color is everyday busy, ER and HR support harassment of women with color and instead of addressing the issue they ask the women of color to leave the company. If you report harassment, you will be let go without reason.

Cons

After multiple rounds of layoffs remaining workforce is stretched to get work done (e.g. not good for work/life balance.) Culture of fear in that if you don't put out over and above effort your job may be cut. Strategy changes often so must be willing and able to change gears and not get to see the fruits of your labors of implementing last month's strategy. Very hard to get things done due to legal, regulatory, and funding approvals and understaffing in support groups. Lots of employees end up going out on medical leave…..stress-related?

Cons

Really nothing much to say abt cons of company ...haven't find anything much in my experience ...I saw most of the employees satisfied being in abbott

Cons

The culture was so toxic and the turnover so high because employees were treated as disposable. Growing professionally from there is almost impossible and they drown you in an impossible amount of complaints to handle without enough support.

Cons

Condescending exchange with Executive level staff, and little room for Advancement. Outright preferential treatment of staff. Overall horrible morale and culture of DC Federal Government Affairs Office; other aspects of Abbott may be different.

Cons

Steep learning curve, but not a con if you have the aptitude for it. Not a career for everyone as it is highly complex and hiring profile is engineering mindset, not pharma mindset (also not a con, just reality for this great company hiring profile)

Cons

Depends on who you work with and your environment but I will say the Mississauga office dynamics and culture is toxic and depressing. High turnover. Lots of contract workers. I would avoid if possible.

Cons

The company varies from site to site and the culture is very different at times. some environments and plants are high tempo and stressful. Sometimes work life balance isn't good depending on the role. Salary increases can be slow if you don't gain promotions

Cons

Being a large organisation, and having acquired Piramal Healthcare there are different processes and policies which are not yet aligned and working gets a bit difficult. Most of the top management are from Piramal Healthcare and hence working culture is not very good today. The difference of working with an MNC and the current management is far different and not very conducive.

Cons

Corporate politics/culture Pay could be better Seems like all employees that have been there for a short time (0-5 years are contract workers)
