Abbott One of the Best Places to Work for Scientists

Abbott has again been named to The Scientist magazine's "Best Places to Work in Industry," this year ranking sixth among companies with more than 5,000 employees. Abbott has earned a spot on the list six times since its inception in 2003.

The Scientist's editors compile the prestigious list based on the results of a detailed survey of scientists at life-science companies and research institutions worldwide. Respondents to the survey were asked to assess their working environment according to 45 criteria in eight different categories, including job satisfaction, benefits, training and integrity. Room for intellectual and career development, a family-friendly environment and less hierarchy topped respondent's priorities. Additionally, survey respondents cited the importance of job security, stability and growth as desirable attributes of their workplace.
