Pros

Abbott has a strong philosophy of work-life balance that shows in both policy and practice. There is also a strong culture of promotion from within, and with such a large and diverse company, there are always new career paths to pursue.

Cons

Abbott has a somewhat "plodding" mentality where change does not come quickly or easily. The high rate of internal promotion tends to limit the amount of new ideas introduced from people with experience in other companies or industries.

Great place to settle down

Pros

If you want to settle down, this is a great company to work for where family always comes first. Politics and bureaucracy exist like in all big companies. You just learn to go with the flow after fighting with these for sometime. The Sr. Leadership does an amazing job in focussing divisional / departmental efforts in the things we do at Abbott. I have seen most of the managers synch up with Company values relatively quickly and this helps individual contributors in many ways. The company has great benefit package (company matching 401K, pension plan, yearly bonus, a decent medical/dental plan etc.,).

Cons

If you are career driven performing an IT role, your career choices are; limited.
