Pros

Abbott Nutrition has very good benefits. The people that work there are also very good, very nice people. I also frequently have a lot of fun in my job.

Cons

As with most corporations, they are slow to accept and act on new ideas or ways of doing things. If you try to champion a new way of doing things, you get labeled as "difficult to work with". Also, contractors are treated as second-class-citizens and we don't retain the ones that are talented and good at their jobs.

Pros

They have great benefits including 401K, profit sharing and pension. The health insurance is pretty good as well. They do try to keep any extra time to a minimum.

Cons

Entrenched management means very little room for advancement. They seem to all stay in their same jobs, so there isn't any room for others to advance. There are some situations where people move to other departments or other divisions which helps. However, most other divisions are located in Chicago, so you really need to be there to have any additional opportunities.

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
