Business Outlook

Pros

Great products and people, they are really trying.

Cons

A bit disorganized and somewhat unprofessional. Life can be a firefight. Lots of entrenched senior managers guarding their turf. IT tools are archaic and frustrating - IT progress is like watching a slug on cement going over a line of salt.

Business Outlook

Pros

Abbott laboratories supports internal promotions for employees and offers many opportunities to move around the company if someone so chooses. Abbott is a well respected company within the pharmaceutical industry

Cons

As with many pharmaceutical companies, stability can be an issue as drugs lose patent. Abbott has an average pipeline and a lower than average industry starting salary. Abbott does not generally have or allocate as many direct-to-consumer marketing dollars for their products to effectively sell them against competitors in the market.

Pros

Abbott is a growing company with new products in the pipeline. The pay well relative to my job previously.

Cons

The site that I was working at, in Temecula, became obscenely corporate and you knew you were a number after it was bought (we were Guidant). During the October fires in 2007 I was told by my supervisor that I had to report to work despite the fact the Mayor of the city of SD requesting people stay off the roads and my commute passing within 20' of raging fire. The smoke inhalation made me sick for a day and a half. I definitely felt like a number.
