Pros

The main reasons why I worked for Abbott was because of the compensation packages for new graduates. This was exceptionally higher than what other companies were paying for new graduates with little or no experience in the pharma field. Prior to working for Abbott, I was employeed with Ernst & Young

Cons

Lack of managerial positions available for growth. Most of the senior finance positions availble are out of reach to employees unless further qualifications are pursued and the position is vacant from turnover. An example of a further qualification is an MBA and a CPA (Certifieid Public Accountant) in addition to a Chartered Accoutant (CA) designation.
