Employees say:
- “Abbott makes an effort to bring everyone together to discuss current events at the firm, and to get to know one another better. The firm really wants the best for its employees professionally, including moving people to other teams to gain more experience or because it’s a better fit for that person’s skill set. I have personally had this opportunity and am grateful.”
- “The work-life balance is the best I have had in my career. I am able to have access to speak to upper-level management as they make themselves accessible to the firm overall.”
- “You can work at your own pace. There is never any pressure to get your tasks done — provided that you do. With the friendly atmosphere at work, everyone gets along well.”
