Pros
The ADC office in Alameda has some of the most caring, driven, smart folks I’ve worked with. Here you’ll find people who genuinely care about making the lives of people living with diabetes better. Pay is at market rate or higher and bonuses are good. The 401k match is very generous and there is actually an old fashioned pension plan. If you are at a certain level you get a stock incentive plan where they just hand you Abbott stock every year. Actual stock, not options. Benefits are good enough: Kaiser, Delta Dental, the usual stuff.
Cons
-Office in remote part of Alameda with no public transit and a limited selection of terrible places to eat. Cube farm environment. Bad coffee and mediocre cafeteria. -Extremely traditional corporate culture that feels like you’ve gone back in time 15 years. ***Mandatory 5 days in office starting in 2024*** -The funds in the 401k are limited and not great, considering Abbott employs 115,000 folks worldwide. -MLR process is so arduous that it’s nearly impossible to produce marketing materials that resonate with consumers. Competitors are kicking Abbott’s butt in this regard.
