Pluspunten

I worked at Abbott more than 20 years. I loved it until the last year and a half or so. Pay and benefits were good. You have 401K (that the company contributes to) and well as pension and yearly profit sharing. Start with 3 weeks vacation, increase to 4 at 12 years. Good benefits for medical leave (although not as good as when I started). I was well trained for all of the jobs I did, up until the last one.

Minpunten

The next to last position I was in had virtually no training and no best practices. The manager was clueless and had obvious favorites in the group. I was informed I was being moved in house after being in the field nearly 10 years. No discussion. I was eventually fired just a few months after my 20th anniversary. I had no conversation with HR, no exit interview. Although I miss a steady paycheck, the company just is not the same as it was when I started. So many departments are now completely remote, and the training programs are not what they once were. My friends who are still there are all overworked and trying to do more with less with no more compensation.

Pluspunten

• 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

Minpunten

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of senior leaders, creating bottlenecks and limiting innovation • Office environments and ways of working often feel outdated compared to more modern organizations • Organizational responsiveness can be frustratingly low.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