Pros

There is a big, corporate campus feel to working at Abbott. There are a lot of benefits offered on site that are great for families in the area. Being a large company, there are many places where you could land. Miles White is an excellent CEO who can deliver on a strategic plan on a consistent basis.

Cons

Abbott is a little slow to adapt to an ever-changing workplace. I felt very behind the times using older software tools that have replacements that are much more efficient that have been on the market for years. The culture is very hierarchical and feels very dated. The different groups have their own demands of shared services but there is no clear 'Global' ownership on many things. The Abbott Park campus is also very far from the city of Chicago, so you are limited in where you can reside if you do not want to handle the commute
