Unfortunate experience.

Pros

I can’t think of any.

Cons

If you are a company about to be acquired by Abbvie and wondering what will happen to your team, it is unfortunate but you can expect no communication from them. Do not expect them to review your employee’s contributions, talent, and value to your current employer, their loyalty, or their qualifications. They consider none of this and will do what they want and with no communication or willingness to consider any way other than their own. It’s very sad.

Pros

Very few that I can think of. Any “pros” this company may offer are not unique and are also at other companies. Pension and health insurance but most companies offer that anyway. The people are good to work with.

Cons

Where do I start? Bullying from management and criticism of staff. Managers making inappropriate comments about how they feel current employees will perform in their new roles after handing in their notice. Poor “training” and analysts being blamed when things go wrong. No equipment or resources and staff blamed yet again. Blame culture galore. Stagnant wages increasing slower than inflation. Favouritism and nepotism. Technically incompetent supervisors who haven’t a clue about the test methods or basic scientific knowledge. Key people such as metrology are not there for most of the day. No purification water most of the time. No regard for safety. Waste streams left in bunds and open containers. Wages not paid on time or at all. Incompetence in payroll (gross incompetence). Supervisors, HR, and management ignoring emails. Scheduling is focused on getting stuff out the door with little regard for quality or safety. No 6 s, especially safety.

Filled with Toxic Managers

Pros

Bought cookies constantly - there's your raise

Cons

Toxic managers making you work in the office. Not giving you deserved raise because someone else in the department is already getting one - they use "behaviors" to knock you down. CEO living like a king out in California while treating employees like garbage.
