Pros

My colleagues and immediate team are great. We all have the same work ethics and we get things done efficiently. I wouldn't change the people I work with for anything in the world.

Cons

As of September 15th, we were told by HR and upper management that AbbVie will force employees back in the office, despite the recommendations from the government not to rush anything. Furthermore, AbbVie has not taken any stance on mandatory vaccination which I find not only unsafe but extremely unprofessional from a company in the pharma industry. Upper Management has made it clear that a flexible work environment does not include any option to work from home in the future as they want to capitalize on "hallway conversations". But all of this doesn't matter as I will be looking for an employer with a modern stance on what flexibility means.

Pros

Competitive compensation and benefits package. Talented employees and opportunities to gain experience in a highly regulated industry.

Cons

Internal hiring practices can appear inconsistent, with some positions filled without providing adequate opportunity for qualified internal candidates to apply. Concerns raised through HR may not always be handled constructively. Pressure to accelerate investigations can create challenges for maintaining quality and compliance standards. Employee concerns regarding compliance issues are not always thoroughly addressed.
