Good company, but a bit heavy on the red tape.

Pros

Interesting products to work on; Many (but not all) managers are fairly competent; Peers are friendly and get along reasonably well; Security of being part of a large parent company (Abbott).

Cons

More bureaucracy than I would have liked, both because it is FDA regulated, and because it is a large, old-school company. Most positions tend to be fairly limited in breadth, which doesn't give as much opportunity to expand beyond your narrow field.

Pros

Good work life balance Colleagues are generally nice Decent pay depending on where you work Some interesting projects occasionally, but paperwork can be burdensome to get them pushed through

Cons

Management can be awful depending on the division and has the mentality to treat people as replaceable, so there is a correspondingly low retention rate. I also don't feel as though I've gained any skills that I can market myself with in the past few years.
