Pros

Salary, time off and clean environment

Cons

Un ethical 2nd level and up Management Team. They don't like to hear the honest truth or the employees opinion better be kept to themself. Clicky management team. Can't be trusted and they offer no help. Its trial by fire with minimal training-no time for it or resources. Run thin and use OT to fix. Sr. Managers have no production management or people skils. Everything is pushed down to the Supervisor and hourly. Way to much documentation and reporting that there is little time to actually supervise and help the employees. If you gain a good rapport with your Team the upper Managers look at it has weak. They want it ruled by threats and iron fist. No calaboration with support departments do to current Management attitude. Big on MICRO managing (negative). People put into roles that think education trumps common sense. If you like a place where there is more "I"s than Team this is it. Be prepared for a lot of dog and pony stuff.

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of senior leaders, creating bottlenecks and limiting innovation • Office environments and ways of working often feel outdated compared to more modern organizations • Organizational responsiveness can be frustratingly low.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