Business Outlook

Pros

OK work environment in Marietta HQ. Competent people at the VP level and below in Marietta. Atlanta area is very comfortable living environment. Cost of Living is low, relative to Solvay salaries.

Cons

Totally incompetent and Eurocentric leadership. Huge divide between the European and US approaches to clinical and regulatory development. Abbott is very likely to clean house by the end of 2010, and retain few Solvay R&D employees.

great people to work with, great cultural mix of backgrounds, highly qualified chemists working in the trenches on a daily basis.

upper management is clueless about technology, people are promoted based on political agenda of the company as a whole, rather than qualifications.
