Pros

Same benefits as any other big company out there. 401K

Cons

- Work week = is never around the 40 hrs more around the 70hrs! - Very poor management - don't listen to what employees say for years but pay $$$ to a Consulting Firm to identify the same problems the employees presented years ago! - Does not promote within - Director of Quality has no management experience nor step up to the challenge - A few do the work of the many and if you complaint they tell you "mind your own business". - If you discover a mistake and you report it (as it should be), you get yourself a CAPA. - With +/- 50% less people they want better outcomes for metrics and upper management review. - Document Control area is like the Hunger Games! - It has been so bad that management (VP/Director/Manager/) combination has change more than 4 times in 4 yrs! - Every month is a run against time to meet numbers ....at all cost. - The single without family work 7 days a week (sending emails on Saturdays and Sundays) and expect the ones with family to do the same. - There is a mentality of "that is not my job" or "they don't pay me enough to do that" and management allows it. - People lie in Resume, get hired, can't do the job for 2 yrs (asking questions all the time, sick, left laptop at home, "working from home", vacation, etc) and all the mess she left behind is forwarded to someone else and the expectation is to fix ASAP 'cause the are old and to keep up with her load.

Pros

• Strong brand and market position • Talented individual contributors and subject matter experts sprinkled throughout the organization • Opportunity to work on products that impact many patients

Cons

These comments reflect experience within Abbott Diabetes Care. • Culture can feel political and risk-averse, with difficult issues often addressed indirectly rather than transparently • Decision-making is slowed by multiple layers of management, many of whom appear focused more on managing upward than enabling teams and execution • Long-tenured management structures can create limited accountability, discourage new ideas, and make modernization difficult • Some leadership styles feel hierarchical and dismissive of dissenting viewpoints, making it risky to challenge the status quo • Strategic thinking and decision authority are concentrated among a relatively small group of senior leaders, creating bottlenecks and limiting innovation • Office environments and ways of working often feel outdated compared to more modern organizations • Organizational responsiveness can be frustratingly low. Routine requests, decisions, and communications often require multiple follow-ups, creating unnecessary delays and reducing accountability • Promotions and performance assessments often lack transparency, leading employees to question whether advancement is based on impact, visibility, DEI, or internal relationships • Employees navigating significant career or life transitions may experience varying levels of support, visibility, and development opportunities, making career continuity and progression feel less predictable than they should be
