Pros

Good pay, great benefits. Training is good. Leads are handed to you.

Cons

AbbVie is a pharma giant so the job is a template you must follow. Doesn't allow for much creativity in call planning, selling strategy, or lead generation so if you like to be told exactly what to do you'll be happy here. Job also promotes hustle mentality and expects you do to admin on free time so if you have other priorities than work, such as small children, this may take a toll on that.

Pros

Not bad as pharma companies go. Relatively good job security. A lot of lovely, smart and hard working people. Benefits team are generally receptive and benefits have improved. Less likely to lay people off than other pharma/biotech.

Cons

Your experience is almost entirely dictated by your managers. Adherence to official policies is super variable. Site is relatively siloed from the rest of the company, top-heavy, and academic. Too many PhDs, not enough entry level development to support projects and execution. Sometimes a lack of clear leadership or direction and bizarre "old school" pharma opaque communication. Very limited, once yearly opportunities for promotion. Bizarre pay /compensation penalties for taking parental leave that saddles two different calendar years.
