Pros

Worked here for almost 2 years while in the BTS Development Program and have to say it has been a great experience. I've had 3 rotations in 3 different areas of the company and all have been great. I can see my own growth over the last two years and can attribute it to a culture that prioritizes talent development and encourages everyone to help each other. My managers and mentors have all been supportive of me. They challenge me to grow further when I succeed while providing guidance when I struggle. Work/life balance is fantastic and my managers all care about their employees' well-being. I have never had issues with flexibility when it comes to work and my personal life.

Cons

Things can be a little unorganized. Processes are not always as efficient as I expected, some areas are behind the industry standards, everyone is always very busy and the culture is meeting-centric. Not enough transparency for me between employees and management. Change can take a while to happen..

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.
