Pros

The people at Abbott are very professional and very organized. The benefits and salaries are very competitive.

Cons

The atmosphere is very uptight and not conducive to the creation or acceptance of new ideas. Due to the recent split into two separate companies, people are on edge and afraid for their jobs. Management appears to be confused about which direction to go in.

Pros

Much individual freedom to explore any venues of interest and development. Diversity of job roles one can assume to further your career.

Cons

Poor development program. Heavily dependant on the individual taking charge of his own development and insisting on it getting done. Too many computer systems supposedly designed to aid one's work but end up hindering it

GREAT company. Managers can be hit or miss.

Pros

Above average pay and benefits (pension, matched 401k, profit sharing, annual bonus/raise, etc.). The company genuinely cares about its products and customers. I can really only speak for my division, but my coworkers are outstanding individuals with incredible amounts of knowledge in their respective fields. It's rare to find someone who isn't 100% devoted to doing quality work and satisfying their customers.

Cons

While Senior Managers actually seem to be quite good overall, first level management is very hit or miss. You might end up working for an incredibly inspiring mentor or a backstabbing micromanager. This could be true for many companies, but it is VERY true here.
