Pros

Reasonable salary, decent bonus, good 401k match and pension if you stay long enough. Decent work life balance most of the time.

Cons

While some nice, good people at AbbVie, there are a lot of folks in positions either they don't deserve, aren't qualified for or simply not a fit. For example, I have recently come across the head of the Customer Experience team and could not be more appalled. She is caustic, condescending, rude, disrespectful, not collaborative and generally creates and negative environment that is demotivating, confrontational and not productive. I have no idea how she is allowed to do what she does.

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.
