Pros
Easy for interns / fresh out of college and PhD individuals to score a managerial role without real word experience. Great boot camp -good place to get managerial experience right out of college and move on.
Cons
PhDs often find themselves in management roles without having to prove themselves with real world experiences, applying what they have learned. Also, people( soft) skills are not a requisite of managerial jobs.This only compounds the problems that are festering due to hiring interns and recent college grads in managerial roles. Believe reviewers when they say that this is not a new company. The company is full of former Abbott employees in high rank positions. They all look and act the same- no diversity of thought/ no embracing of new was of doing things. The company is also a mix of Hospira and Baxter employees that had left Abbott and returned in higher ranking positions. The split from Abbott did not change ANYTHING; but, the name. Good ole boy/girl rules this company. Processes and SOPs are often missing or have gaps that makes the environment chaotic.
