Pros

None that come to mind... Maybe the clout of saying you work at Abbott, if you're in to that sort of thing?

Cons

ADC specifically - Terrible culture, an environment that breeds terrible management that doesn't empower their employees or push for improvements or change. Very stifling and depressing. No work/life balance. You will be expected to be on calls at 6 am and 6pm, work during your PTO/Vacation and not even take a breath. Corporate has initiatives that they run, conversations they will have with your partners that you're not even a part of, yet you're expected to do your work at a certain level, very bizarre. The weirdest environment I have ever worked in... There are directors who do not even look at you if you're not director and above, what kind of terrible place is this? Don't even bother being here. This place cost me my mental and physical health. I wish I never stepped foot here, save yourself.
