Pros

Reputable Name Salary Benefits Great place to learn about Biopharma

Cons

Horrible Leadership! Culture has a long way to go due to poor HR departments. Many upper level employees do not respond to emails from employees who are not in a leadership position. Moving up is absolutely impossible, unless you are best friends with the right person. Recruiting process is a joke! Hard work is not rewarded, it is all about who you know, which is why almost 75% of the people landed a role within the organization because of an employee referral.

Pros

Pay and benefits are excellent

Cons

When I was hired by AbbVie I sold my home and relocated to comply with their mandatory office days. A week after I sold my home they did a reorganization of my department. My hiring manager was forced to retire, my mentor was moved to another team and the work stopped coming in. I was laid off shortly after. I’m now experiencing housing instability. Thanks AbbVie!
