Sometimes good sometimes not so well

The good things
The flexibility offered to employees was beyond expectation. Not micromanage management. No clock in clock out system. The management trust the employees very well but you need to expect that your boss will find you after working hours as well. For me, its a win-win situation for both. They have very good support from corporate teams. The documentation is very systematic where one document for all plants and you can integrate the document to comply to local laws. The environment is very good as well. Very clean. You will have your own cubicle. Pantry at each office area with coffee machine. Spacious parking space for all employees.
The challenges
Sometimes the workload is unbearable with short of headcounts. The people here sometimes like to 'Taichi' work. Management sometimes have very high expectations. They want to know the problems is settled, not even want to know the root cause or roadblock.

Work life balance at its best

The good things
Abbott has a fantastic culture. Being in the industry of saving lives, everyone here works hard to deliver their individual best, but at the same time everyone is given many opportunities to have fun. This is one place where the term "employee engagement" actually means something.
The challenges
It is more of a personal challenge for me, coming from a very different industry & into the medical industry. Rest assured, i have multiple resources at my disposal to help me get accustomed to the Abbott way of doing things.
