Vantaggi

Good pay, bonus adequate, profit sharing, pension,

Svantaggi

M&A created far too large a sales force with far too few products to promote and too many reps on teams in territories with inadequate pipeline to support the sales force led to 40% reduction in force in 2011. Many tenured highly productive reps at or near pension were let go along with the 900 reps positions that were eliminated, while other non productive less tenured reps were retained. Bell curve was enough to avoid legal actions. Abbotts business is no longer patient or personnel focused, simply the bottom line for upper management and their focus on retaining their hghly overcompensated positions. Dismanagement abounds.

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of senior leaders, creating bottlenecks and limiting innovation • Office environments and ways of working often feel outdated compared to more modern organizations • Organizational responsiveness can be frustratingly low.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