AbbVie reviews

PhDs often find themselves in management roles without having to prove themselves with real world experiences, applying what they have learned. Also, people( soft) skills are not a requisite of managerial jobs.This only compounds the problems that are festering due to hiring interns and recent college grads in managerial roles. Believe reviewers when they say that this is not a new company. The company is full of former Abbott employees in high rank positions. They all look and act the same- no diversity of thought/ no embracing of new was of doing things. The company is also a mix of Hospira and Baxter employees that had left Abbott and returned in higher ranking positions. The split from Abbott did not change ANYTHING; but, the name. Good ole boy/girl rules this company. Processes and SOPs are often missing or have gaps that makes the environment chaotic.

Not much has changed from the Abbott old-boys/girls cadre of mind-numbing conformists: feckless managers "lead" by intimidation without consequences. Questions by subordinates not tolerated. HR ninja hit squad called in to "set things straight." Some depts run well, but more wrong than right.
