      Tolerance of bad leadership makes environment toxic

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      One of the best compensation packages in industry, including pension. Some people are great to work with and very team-oriented.

      Cons

      (1) Poor leadership is tolerated, which creates a toxic environment for that group. These leaders continue to be advanced and their high rates of turnover are ignored. AbbVie is bleeding talent because of poor leadership. Employee Relations is useless and only protects the leader. (2) Promotion is highly political and based on who you know rather than who does the best job or has the best skills. (3) Some managers will block their employees from transferring to different positions. (4) Although they say they encourage behaviors (Ways of Working) and values, the behavior that is reinforced by leadership contradicts this. (5) Decisions for some scientific functions borders unethical/non-compliant yet everyone looks the other way. People who do speak up are reprimanded or it's held against them.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      work/life balance, innovative therapies to millions of patients globally, smart colleagues, internal mobility is encouraged, profit-sharing, high margin business, free shuttles, subsidized healthy food options, decent vacation/paid time off, top global pharma company with strong financial results/fundamentals and strong therapies/pipeline of medicines in areas of unmet need

      Cons

      Large corporate politics, difficult to move up if not part of a formal "career development program" or very well connected with senior leadership (through mentoring), some nepotism exists particularly in career development programs, given organization's size, work can be highly specialized and siloed depending on group/department, only 1 formal performance review per year, very far from downtown Chicago, flexibility to work from home varies by department/group and manager, some of Abbott's legacy culture still remains (if it's not broken don't fix it mentality), innovation isn't encouraged or rewarded equally in all departments, some main buildings lack a gym facility,
