Failing and ineffective leadership

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work-life balance is great. Direct leadership is also good, not perfect but good enough. Compensation and salary are good but that is a continuation of Abbott salary. All the good things are carryover from Abbott. Abbott was not perfect but AbbVie could be so much better.

Cons

Upper management hired after the separation from Abbott demonstrate lack of effective leadership. When no one from the original organization is promoted to positions they clearly qualify for then something is not right. Newly hired DVPs are completely disconnected from the reality of a very fluid industry.

Good learning experience, but not the most healthy workplace

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A great place to learn (sometimes by counter example), very good at marketing, good benefits, good products (Humira, Kaletra) that truly improve people's lives.

Cons

Insular culture, silos headed by empire builders, position authority more important than expertise, too much emphasis on formal education as a qualification (at most levels).

Deluded management, lack of growth opportunities, unbalanced/unfair pay

Scientist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1) Decent benefits 2) Good place to be in if you are looking for short term opportunities (3-5 years) or want to start a career.

Cons

1) Lost management with some old thinking and unclear end point. Management is deluded about reality and is attempting to make changes without TRULY understanding the present situation. 2) Unbalanced payscale - new hires could end up getting paid more than existing employees at the same level and with more years of experience or qualification. 3) Not much growth opportunity (especially if you are ambitious) 4) Too much time and resoruces are wasted in initiatives/collaborations that don't seem to pay off
