Pros

Nice coworkers Pay was decent Flexible Clean work environment Fast responses from everyone

Cons

Terrible micromanagement across entire division Played a lot of “favorites” which resulted in some employees getting extra time off or overtime and some not Training was awful and rules were added every week to comply to but the expectations changed from employee to employee on how to adhere to this rules they made up Employees complained about being overworked and mental health but management ignored and simply shut them down Red flags the first day I got there when everyone told me how many employees left in the department just months ago…I should’ve known it had something to do with the way we were managed Abbott also has a no retaliation clause in where they can’t get mad if you discuss salary as there shouldn’t be anything to hide if we’re all being paid what we deserve right? Then why did the managers get angry, pull us into meetings to discuss this matter saying it’s not professional, and limit how much we can get approved for time off and over time for it.

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of senior leaders, creating bottlenecks and limiting innovation • Office environments and ways of working often feel outdated compared to more modern organizations • Organizational responsiveness can be frustratingly low.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
