Pros

The people at Abbott are great. It's definitely a family-friendly workplace and I would recommend it to anyone that is looking to be working parent. Abbott has opportunities for advancement and different types of projects.

Cons

IT is definitely behind the times at Abbott. It was difficult being a student and having to relearn technologies of the past in order to perform well. If you want to work with new, exciting technologies, Abbott is not the place for you.

Pros

Decent benefits, some nice people, mostly smart colleagues in the technical departments.

Cons

Amazingly dysfunctional IT - it is just astounding - I had to open the same work item a dozen times as they marked it completed without addressing it. Very oppressive feeling - people seem to be scared of each other, very cliquish. Life at ADC is more about looking smart and informed and less about producing results. Management is treacherous, unsupportive, vicious. They're glad to hire several contractors in India instead of engineers in California. Lots of pressure to donate money to select charities - managers are held accountable for their departments' donations to the CEO's old company/charity.

Good company with great CEO. New products in the pipeline as well and a great benefit package.

Cons

Sales figures for territories changes frequently and can be inaccurate. It is difficult to determine how your territory is doing.
