Pros

Benefits package. I have a very good direct manager and team.

Cons

Abbott is notoriously cheap when it comes to compensating employees. We are constantly asked to do more, faster, with less. Everyone on my immediate team does the work of three people. It burns you out, especially when you aren't financially compensated. I don't even make the low end range of my job title as listed here.

Pros

A large amount of opportunity and support for career development. Great for those who can take the initiative and manage their own careers - it is a big place. It is very important to have the support of your boss. Fortunately there are a lot of good bosses at Abbott.

Cons

Like any large company, there is a lot of bureaucracy - things can take forever to accomplish. Anyone who is not a self-starter could get lost in the crowd.
