Pros

I sadly don't have any positives

Cons

Abbott Lyon is a mess of a company from the top to bottom. The senior management gate keep everything and squeeze the lower levels for everything possible. The team is stretched so thin and the exceptions are so high that you are set up to fail before you start any project. If you ask for help or explain your difficulties you are left feeling unsupported and belittled for even asking in the first place. Time lines are often outrageous and not do able. Teams on the front line some how pull together and make it all work and keep this company going.

Pros

Monthly discount code for a free product.

Cons

I don't even know where to start with this review but i would never recommend working for this company. You will forever be overworked, stressed and never appreciated. They try to cover it up by giving you work 'treats' like pizza or goodie bags from other brands on days like International Women's Day but that will never make up for the toxic culture. The company relocated their whole business across the country and made 70% of their staff redundant. This core team was the strongest team they had with the strongest work ethicals, with minimal staff turn over. Now there is a new person starting or leaving every week. The office culture has become so nasty & clique. It's a predominately female environment and they hire men who are so misogynistic and talk down to all the women within the team and when it's flagged to senior leaders, its shrugged off and not handled. Management is a hot mess who never communicate vital information so you're always playing a guessing game or having to do a full 180 change at 5pm on a Friday. Basically if you aren't willing to suck up to senior management or get into a clique group and work 60+ hrs a week, then don't bother applying.

Pros

Nice office and monthly voucher code

Cons

Constantly overworked with little thanks. Not a good place to work if you want a healthy work-life balance. Prepare to get a lot of messages out of hours and be expected to do work in the evenings (outside of working hours), as workloads are really big Wouldn't recommend working here if you value your own mental health and personal time
