Business outlook
Pros
Excellent pay, benefits, and perks. Gorgeous new building on 94 and 60 (Mettawa, IL) that brings in a lot of sunlight and fresh air and encourages a new mindset of creating good relationships and working well rather than being workaholics trying to preserve one's own position.
Cons
Worked in IT. Terrible bureaucracy (throwing people under the bus to protect oneself) and "this is the way we've always done it" mentality from people who have been there for 30 years (spun off from Abbott in 2013). They are trying to create a new forward-looking team mentality separate from Abbott, but it's slow-going as Abbott lifers do anything to protect their positions until they retire.
