Pros

A good place to start off your (science or engineering) career in R&D.

Cons

Once you are in, as always good work can help you grow, but not without your top management's blessings. Perceptions seem to matter a lot, and sometimes, that perception originates from your boss or their boss. Once you have been identified as being in the lower bracket, the system is set up such that the top management folks personally start scrutinizing your activities in a way designed to destroy your remaining confidence, and not help come out of it.

Pros

Very friendly work environment; everyone is willing to help and assist in any way possible. I had a very easy time getting started in the company, as well as some excellent mentors and supervisors that I was able to complete my projects with. Overall, the experience was great, and I would definitely return again.

Cons

The Abbott Diabetes Care division of Abbott Labs is still reasonably small. It's also relatively new, making the environment very start-up oriented. There are not too many downsides, although pay could possibly be higher. Also, conflicts with QA/QC regulations may occur, depending on what department you may be working in.
