Pros

Paid time off, annual bonus, consistent work schedule, work for home, low health insurance premium. Great resume builder. Great for those who want to coast into retirement or need a job while raising a family. Great for college grads.

Cons

Diversity exist in silos. Employees are expected to perform two grades above current job title to receive a positive review. Salary increases are minuscule. Don’t accept an extremely low offer with sign on bonus. You’ll regret it. Promotions are 100% political. Negotiate desire job title before accepting position. Managers blocks lateral moves or advancement to other teams. Middle managers are unable to perform and afraid to make decisions. The company culture advertised is very different from the day to day culture. Most people shuffle papers and are paid to not think. Just check boxes. Many “legacy” employees are entitled and unaware of industry standards\norms. Company culture will never change.

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!
