      I worked at AbbVie full-time

      Pros

      Good working environment, supportive colleagues and attractive salary packages.

      Cons

      For a new company, presence of an ageing management team with no vision is alarming and those with vision are not valued. Culture improvement attempts are high in number but mostly unsuccessful, hence still not much change for the better. Weak HR team.

      Positive Outlook

      I worked at AbbVie full-time for more than 5 years

      Pros

      Very fast career progression provided you work on the most challenging projects that are under the spotlight by senior management

      Cons

      High staff turnover due to most challenging projects not having effective management. Exceptionally poor business systems which are from the 1980s which results in very slow improvements and overall makes the business of getting things done quite slow and archaic compared to other pharmaceutical companies

      I have been working at AbbVie full-time

      Pros

      I have learnt a lot in my position and have been given opportunity to progress. There is a general sense both in myself and from the work colleagues that the organisation promotes friendly and productive reltionships at work.

      Cons

      Despite continuous negative feedback work life balance remains major challange. It is not possible to meet deadlines without putting in extra hours on a daily basis.

      I worked at AbbVie full-time for less than a year

      Pros

      Lovely friendly culture between field and office. Good materials to support field. Training could be improved, timetable was a bit chaotic. Good support via manager. Would work for company again.

      Cons

      Large geography to cover meant very long travelling times to see customers, smaller geography would mean increased customer interactions. Some Management had a bit of a short term strategic view and priorities or actions seem to change in a knee jerk fashion.

      I worked at AbbVie full-time

      Pros

      Lots of opportunities with some new products coming to market and always an acquisition of some company or other. Everyone wants to be involved in the new shiny products.....very resource heavy with lots of people to get lost in!

      Cons

      Still living in the old Humira days with ‘this is how we used to do it’ mentality. Got very greedy. Sadly the management is all over the place and no identity lost its ‘culture’. Have a very hire and fire mentality with very little consideration for human beings. (Yes a bitter aftertaste!)

      Pros

      Good package but not worth the bullying culture, I am struggling with cons other than they have good products and really good sales people shame they can’t retain them

      Cons

      Bullying culture and ineffective management , if your face fits culture . Horrendous management with zero people skills which was reflected in the GPTW survey
