Pros

Excellent pay, benefits, and perks. Gorgeous new building on 94 and 60 (Mettawa, IL) that brings in a lot of sunlight and fresh air and encourages a new mindset of creating good relationships and working well rather than being workaholics trying to preserve one's own position.

Cons

Worked in IT. Terrible bureaucracy (throwing people under the bus to protect oneself) and "this is the way we've always done it" mentality from people who have been there for 30 years (spun off from Abbott in 2013). They are trying to create a new forward-looking team mentality separate from Abbott, but it's slow-going as Abbott lifers do anything to protect their positions until they retire.

Pros

Pay and benefits are excellent

Cons

When I was hired by AbbVie I sold my home and relocated to comply with their mandatory office days. A week after I sold my home they did a reorganization of my department. My hiring manager was forced to retire, my mentor was moved to another team and the work stopped coming in. I was laid off shortly after. I’m now experiencing housing instability. Thanks AbbVie!
