Young biopharma company offering great compensation for people willing to engage

Business Outlook

Pros

AbbVie has the advantage of being a pretty new company (created in January 2013), building on the rich heritage of Abbott, but with its very own culture and values. People are very dedicated, committed to results, with rather short decision circuits. It also a very good company for consultants that are willing to invest time and get into very hands-on projects.

Cons

Downside (for some people) is that flexibility, both within US or internationally, will be required if you want to build a successful career path within AbbVie, especially in financial roles.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits including parental leave, pension, stocks. Robust pipeline. Transparent culture and good collaborative team work philosophy. Hard work is rewarded.

Cons

Vacation is very comparable to most US companies (3 weeks), but in pharma it is not very competitive. In addition, the opportunity to gain additional vacation does not occur until you have been at AbbVie for 9 years.
