      Abbott Vascular does not pay good

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable job since it is an established medical device company

      Cons

      Working in IT in a NON-IT organization does not apy you well. You cannot make decisions since some other business unit is funding your project and they do not treat IT with respect

      Check your ego at the door

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Chance to get experience working for a global and diverse Healthcare organization. Opportunity to work in a variety of business units from medical device to pharma. Good networking opportunites with other employees and through professional associations. You'll also get exposure to working with government agencies and industry organizations.

      Cons

      Quite a few senior executives, VPs, and especially the CEO, adopt the work approach of: "It's all about me and my stock options." Businesses often pitted against each other fighting over internal resources. Bi-polar attitude towards financial measurements and work accountability standards. One day you'd be investing in growth, hiring people or expanding operations, and the next day you needed to outsource everything, freeze job requisitions and reduce headcount. Work/life balance difficult as hours were long.

      Be careful what you ask for.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If your are in the right division or meet certain diversity attributes you have the potential to receive a wealth of training and experience. You can also feel like you are have a positivie impact on your communities health.

      Cons

      Pendulam has swung to far on diversity to the expense of good business decisions. If you are in the wrong division (Diagnostics) look out, it's a cuthroat, selfish, environment focused on personal survival and playing the blame game. The compliance related paperwork can smother any creativity, which you wouldn't get credit for anyway.
