Pros

- great middle management - abbott corporate has good benefits, it's hard to say if their culture is good because the austin office is very different than abbott corporate.

Cons

- their covid response was the worst I've ever seen. They mandated their employees return to work months ago, in spite of the rapid rise in cases, even though all our jobs can be remote and we were VERY productive when we worked from home. Not only are we required to work from the office but attendance is taken! If you do not badge in, your manager is notified. - I am close to my elderly family member and begged to be allowed to work remotely. I was denied without any hesitation. - there is very little appreciation for anyone outside of sales. there are no bonuses, not even a holiday party. - turnover is very high. especially in the last two years. - there is little work-life balance. they will expect work on nights, on weekends. - very difficult to move up in the company
