Horrendous work life balance for certain functions that just was not ever acknowleged or addressed Promotions go to the wrong people and regularly are just announced without being advertised internally Not agile despite trying to shed previous Abbott "big pharma" roots - too many layers of process and decision makeing to get even the smallest things done

Business Outlook

Pros

Inclusive, welcoming and emotionally intelligent culture. Stated and demonstrated ethos of patient centricity. Honest efforts to take feedback and change accordingly. Committed to developing people and helping them to grow.

Cons

Heavy workload. Individual success more dependent on personal relationships than work excellence. Inconsistency in how some flexible working processes are applied which leads to distrust. Career opportunities limited unless you can relocate.
