Pros

Benefits, safe location, competitive pay

Cons

HR process is a mess with a terrible onboarding experience. There are too many people doing similar jobs so there is a lack of accountability and ability to complete work strategically and quickly (too many layers/micromanagement). Despite being a young company, "this is how we have always done it" is always tossed around, and most of the executives are legacy Abbott leaders so there is a lack of new thinking. It's a hypocritical culture of encouraging employees to provide ideas to then turn around and ignore/punish those who think differently.

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
