Pros

Sprawling office , although it is a glorified jail since long hours is a norm

Cons

Long exhausting meetings, 90% of working hours wasted in meetings. Support functions leave on time irrespective of whether work is done or not. Very tough place for marketing. Huge culture of nepotism. If you aren't liked by the big guys you will be kicked out. You have to say yes to everything. The meagre increment every year is laughable. Top management is paid like Kings n bottom n middle management given peanuts. Growth is restricted to only and only boss pleasers. If u please immediate boss and your super boss doesn't like you then you pack your bags. No room for new ideas and change. So in short if you want a toxic culture with zero personal life and income then please join this organization . Hr is also toxic since they help top management in removing good people.

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of senior leaders, creating bottlenecks and limiting innovation • Office environments and ways of working often feel outdated compared to more modern organizations • Organizational responsiveness can be frustratingly low.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