      Pros

      The main reasons why I worked for Abbott was because of the compensation packages for new graduates. This was exceptionally higher than what other companies were paying for new graduates with little or no experience in the pharma field. Prior to working for Abbott, I was employeed with Ernst & Young

      Cons

      Lack of managerial positions available for growth. Most of the senior finance positions availble are out of reach to employees unless further qualifications are pursued and the position is vacant from turnover. An example of a further qualification is an MBA and a CPA (Certifieid Public Accountant) in addition to a Chartered Accoutant (CA) designation.

      Abbott - A place to learn, grow, and build a career

      Market research analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Abbott is an employer that values its workers, patients, and stakehodlers it serves. At the undegraduate and graduate level, Abbott has management development programs in the ares of HR, Finance, Marketing, Science, and research. While it is hard to generalize about Abbott, due to its size, I would say that most individuals are go getters. We have many individuals with Top 20 MBAs all over the company. Abbott's diverse businesses do give ample opportunity for career movement. Also, opportunities working abroad are available.

      Cons

      If its size is a plus, it can be a downside too. Many times it is hard to get things done with multiple layers. However, Abbott does realize this and attempts to eliminate red tape. It is a far commute from Chicago if you live in the city. Pay is not on scale with other pharma or companies in the Northern Burbs considerdering its great benefits package and overall benefits

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits and recognition of company name on resume. Generous vacation time. Abbott has the potential to provide an interesting career filled with a variety of positions and develop a wide range of skill sets making it possible to experience a fullfilling career

      Cons

      Employees are not sufficiently valued and there is very limited opportunities for professional growth. Too much office politics and unprofessional conduct from employees is tolerated by management. Low work morale due to constant layoff announcements by management.
