Pros

Benefits, annual profit share, perfect place to slack off (if you've been employed long enough), okay salaries (on the cheap side)

Cons

- Type A personalities not appreciated. Preference goes to low risk employees (w/ kids, debt, no ambition) - You will find managers/directors with an associate bachelor degree managing people with top MBAs! - CEO is a high schooler. I want to know which high school he attended so I point it out to Bloomberg to include in their MBA rankings. - It is who you know ... friends are hiring friends. - Firm is lacking integrity; currently under Corporate Integrity Agreement with the Federal Government for off labeling marketing of Depakote (= reason for the split from Abbott) - Disorganized company still trying to separate from the mother ship (Abbott). Cultural survey pointed out lack of work life balance.

Pros

The people are absolutely great and there is a lot of opportunity to grow and learn. The perks are great as well.

Cons

Compensation is not competitive and no stock is given until you reach a certain level. How can I justify staying in a high cost of living city when other companies are paying me a much higher base + stock? My skills are transferrable to a tech company which easily pays double what I was making here. AbbVie justifies this with a pension, but that is not enough of an incentive. The high performers are going to get recruited elsewhere because they know their worth (I already saw this happening).

Pros

Fulfilling work and great colleagues.

Cons

Poor leadership that runs all the way up to VP level and beyond. Employees from the Allergan side of the business aren’t treated equally to their legacy AbbVie counterparts. Be Careful- disabilities that would normally have a reasonable accommodation of remote work will not be fairly addressed by leadership, and you’ll be forced into disclosing medical information every three months in the hopes that your temporary accommodations will be approved again.
