Pros

You get a little over 115 hours of PTO each year

Cons

Management will only promote candidates that they are friends with or a candidate that was originally brought on board by Abbott by a particular manager. The hiring managers will want the candidates that they hired originally to move up in the company quickly because it makes the manager look good. They promote within at Abbott but the candidates are not qualified for the position that they are interviewing for. The candidates will not have very much overall work experience but they will get promoted multiple times before an actual candidate who has 12 plus years of experience even gets 1 interview in that time frame. It’s all about politics at this company. They will promote people to be supervisors who have never been a supervisor before or even a team lead. Certain manager will tell you that they will put in a good word for you with the hiring manager for another role but those certain managers never actually put in a good word for you. I had a certain manager last year even though that manager sat 40 feet from where I sit, he didn’t speak a word to me for 8 straight months.

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of senior leaders, creating bottlenecks and limiting innovation • Office environments and ways of working often feel outdated compared to more modern organizations • Organizational responsiveness can be frustratingly low.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