Pros

Work/Life Balance, diversified corporate portfolio that has kept stock healthy, opportunities for advancement and training

Cons

The newly empowered FDA shook up all pharma co's earlier this year - and Abbott is particularly conservative. As a marketer, you often feel like your hands are tied and you're being spun in your seat... there can be little professional satisfaction if you have experience in less regulated categories.
