Pros

Good bonus Good pension Onsite gym Barista

Cons

This group is falling apart. Overwork Burnout No support or leadership Management lack of knowledge means they can't answer questions or take any accountability, which means lower levels are basically on their own, and are thrown under the bus when something goes wrong. People are leaving without other jobs to go to, just to escape this toxic culture. The team is under resourced so stress levels and burnout are sky high. Management are not addressing the resource issue, not helping with workload, and not understanding when unfeasible workloads are growing. QA as a whole are really struggling, but this group are barely coping, with no support, leadership, or recognition coming from above. There's plenty of tick box exercises for diversity and culture etc, but its all show. Teams are vocal about what the issues are, and its swept under the rug.

Pros

Big Pharma Name Recognition: Having Allergan/AbbVie on your resume provides industry visibility.

Cons

Extreme Governance & Bureaucracy: Allergan is paralyzed by red tape. There are far too many governance layers just to get basic regulatory strategies vetted out. Flawed Compliance Infrastructure: Product approvals are heavily dependent on documentation. However, current records are completely inadequate. Management fundamentally fails to understand how these systems are interlinked. Unqualified & Absentee Leadership: The leader with department oversight completely lacks the expected knowledge and experience for this level, making her a massive liability. She is rarely in the office but knows exactly how to work the system. She aggressively pushes for unnecessary, in-person regulatory meetings solely to accumulate personal travel points rather than to mitigate actual business risks. Disastrous Transition Management: The leadership transition wreaked total havoc across the department. Negligent HR Department: HR shows zero interest in investigating why good talent is leaving the company. Alarming Job Security Signs: It is a massive red flag when a leader encourages employees to apply for roles entirely unrelated to their expertise, or receiving automated AI notifications about job openings outside your department.
