Vantaggi

Good colleagues, pleasant canteen staff, but that's it.

Svantaggi

The Longford site is far from civilization, with unsafe housing and poor living conditions. Salaries are low, and bonuses are withheld throughout the year. There’s no proper induction—you’re expected to teach yourself because TLs are unqualified. Management misleads new hires about WFH options for this desk job, then penalises those who request it. The WFH policy unfairly exempts tenured staff. The tech department is led by ineffective TLs who prioritise their own interests over team support, while HR offers no help. Surveys aren’t anonymous, and unprofessional behavior by PMs is overlooked, with their work rewarded. Reporting safety issues through BBS cards to EHS is unfairly applied to staff for trivial matters. Promotions are rare, given only to favorites, often unqualified, while deserving employees remain in the same role for 5–7 years seeking a senior title. Retention is terrible; employees are constantly shuffled between teams to fill gaps. A redundancy plan was implemented in August 2024 despite ongoing turnover. Even permanent positions aren’t worth the stress. Avoid this place if you value your career and mental health.

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of senior leaders, creating bottlenecks and limiting innovation • Office environments and ways of working often feel outdated compared to more modern organizations • Organizational responsiveness can be frustratingly low.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