Pros

Improving people's lives. Even though Abbott is well its behind competitors in fair compensation, the pharma industry pays well. Abbott has a great benefits package.

Cons

Fair compensation, all talk and no walk, senior and executive management incompetence. Layoffs continue to happen-- silently. Unless you get a dynamite manager, there is NO SUCH THING as work/life balance. You either work 80 hours or find another job.
