Pros

Dynamic environment often allows for great on-the-job learning opportunities. Great people Decent pay and benefits

Cons

Limited advancement - Like many companies advancement is based greatly on who you know. A major issue is management doesn't change much so the same people are promoted or given developmental opportunities. Not much diversity in leadership ranks Still working out the kinks from the split from Abbott (systems, processes, etc.) which caused a lot of busy work and doesn't always allow time for analysis. I would recommend Abbvie to a friend but not in the Finance function.

Business Outlook

Pros

Evolving culture, great people, dedication to work in healthcare, expansive career growth, globally minded. Since transitioning from Abbott the shift towards a more nimble biotech is evident in the work that is done. The focus on a successful future is talked about on day to day basis. The vision of being a patient centric company is coming to life. Benefits are strong; onsite day care (like).

Cons

Campus is spread out and requires day to day planning to get to meetings, etc. Having most or all employees at the same location would be beneficial for cross collaboration. Some employees are on the train of change and others are still at the station, challenging to get new ideas through.
