Pros

- MNC - Generally good products portfolio - Established brands so if you are in sales, its not as challenging to convince.

Cons

- Political environment - Poor leadership where managers are not very supportive to team members which in turn also leads to poor teamwork amongst functions - Claim reimbursement are a nightmare. You need to have a good cash flow yourself to work here and be ready to constantly fight over your claims which in the 1st place is money youre paying upfront for the company

Pros

You get a little over 115 hours of PTO each year

Cons

Management will only promote candidates that they are friends with or a candidate that was originally brought on board by Abbott by a particular manager. The hiring managers will want the candidates that they hired originally to move up in the company quickly because it makes the manager look good. They promote within at Abbott but the candidates are not qualified for the position that they are interviewing for. The candidates will not have very much overall work experience but they will get promoted multiple times before an actual candidate who has 12 plus years of experience even gets 1 interview in that time frame. It’s all about politics at this company. They will promote people to be supervisors who have never been a supervisor before or even a team lead. Certain manager will tell you that they will put in a good word for you with the hiring manager for another role but those certain managers never actually put in a good word for you. I had a certain manager last year even though that manager sat 40 feet from where I sit, he didn’t speak a word to me for 8 straight months.
