Business Outlook
Pros
Career stability with low turnover. Generally friendly and relaxed work environment. Most departments are over-staffed - unlikely to have unmanageable workload. Efforts to encourage work-life balance. Competitive Midwest compensation.
Cons
Stability + modest expectations = mediocre lifelong employees who have no experience outside Abbott/AbbVie. Very process-driven, box checkers thrive. Culture is very slow to change. Hierarchacal and layers upon layers of management in most organizations. Safe, familiar approaches are almost always favored -- entire R&D organization is incredibly risk-averse.
