Vantaggi

Solid Fortune 500 company with tons of resources, quality products, marketing, and training to back you up. You will become a better Sales Rep and Businessperson. Numerous condition specific products and healthcare call points that prepare you for better sales opportunities in the future.

Svantaggi

Culture changed very quickly in the past 5 years. What once was stated from management as "you manage your territory", it is now micro managed for you by them. Big Pharma mind-set is now the way of life. Get on the "Blue Train" or be gone. Older Reps with a record of success are now targeted for dismissal if not seen as "dynamic" or willing to roll-over and learn corporate's new tricks. Pay is good but below that of Abbott Primary Care samplers and caterers. Tons of busy work to be done "before/after-selling-time" and ride-withs that in reality take away from face time with customers. Not fun anymore.

Vantaggi

• 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

Svantaggi

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of senior leaders, creating bottlenecks and limiting innovation • Office environments and ways of working often feel outdated compared to more modern organizations • Organizational responsiveness can be frustratingly low.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