Business outlook
Pros
Abbott pays well and generally has good benefits. Abbott has the muscle to hire from the upper percentiles of the applicant pool. People are proud to work at Abbott and it is a leader in Lake county. Abbott has deep pockets and can affrod the best in technology.
Cons
For IT professionals the availability of training varies depending on the budget climat in your specific area. Abbott tends to place resources in "in favor" areas and neglects others. Sometimes the Lake County atmosphere can overwhelm the advantages of being near a world class city (Chicago). People can be a little too self satisfied with "Mother Abbott". Abbott IT can tend towards the one of each in a category mish-mash.
