Cons
Abbott is very unflexible in their business dealings. It's a take it or leave it attitude with the sales people. It seemed to me they were not accountable for the quality of their analyzers.
felt good about working for a successful company focused on providing important technological advances and products for the improvement of others' health
Cons
during my time there, which was about two to three years ago, the company and diagnostics division appeared to be in a state of uncertainty to the future.
The best reasons are to get industry experience and exposure with a reputable firm that many people would recognize on your resume.
Cons
Unfortunately I had a pretty miserable experience working at Abbott for the summer as an MBA summer intern - way too much meddling by HR and poor direct supervisors were the primary contributors.
