Provides an additional 10 days of paid time off after 15 years of service; flexible hours to accommodate school events, taking a family member to the doctor, etc.
Schedules team lunches to recognize hard work, completion of a project and the end of the busy season. Monthly staff lunches to celebrate birthdays, weddings, new babies and other special life events.
Makes the entire month of August full-time work from home for its employees. Also has a policy of no overtime needed, or at the most, minimum amounts of overtime.
Employees say:
"Abbott has a culture of collaboration. We all work hard, but we work together, not against one another. It's supportive, fair and fun. The people are incredibly smart, intellectually curious and intellectually honest. I really feel like everyone is working hard for our clients every day and that people are recognized for the work that they do."
"I think the organization really means 'open-door policy' when they say it. I feel comfortable talking to managing directors, to the chief financial officer, etc. ... without being nervous. They are all so personable; it really is unbelievable that a place like this exists. I am happy to be a part of the team."
"The leadership wants everyone to be involved and feel included and has built the culture around a team-oriented mentality. We have monthly firmwide meetings for important milestones and updates. We acknowledge birthdays, weddings and babies during the meeting. It ends in a happy hour. We moved (our) office during the pandemic, and the new space is very nice. They improved the drinks and snacks. The benefit package is very good."
