Pros
Like other large pharmaceuticals, Abbvie provides good benefits and takes an interest in their employees wellbeing.
Cons
Having worked for a variety of large pharmaceutical companies over many years, Abbvie takes governance and micro-management to new levels. Every project no matter how big or small has to be run through multiple governance committees before gaining approval. My efficiency and ability to complete projects has halved compared to what I was doing in my previous company as a result. Ultimately, it seems to come down to the fact that Abbvie doesn't value the skills and capabilities of the teams they employ. Note, i'm not suggesting no governance but rather streamlined to ensure work gets completed; at Abbvie I have taken 6 months to gain approval for a similar project to one I was empowered to approve in my previous role.
