Lots of potential, slow to change

Pros

They are an exciting company and industry that is focused on 2 major things - Patients and Growth. They do truly care for the patient (as much as any pharma company can) and are willing to make tough decisions to grow the business.

Cons

They are a spin-off of Abbott Labs, a great company but also a very traditional, conservative one. AbbVie is in a fast-paced, progressive industry but as much as they say they are "new"...they aren't. The shadow of Abbott still looms large and it is a constant battle to get them to move quickly and change their ways. Especially upper management who say they want to empower teams but can't help but micromanage.
