Pros

Benefits, safe location, competitive pay

Cons

HR process is a mess with a terrible onboarding experience. There are too many people doing similar jobs so there is a lack of accountability and ability to complete work strategically and quickly (too many layers/micromanagement). Despite being a young company, "this is how we have always done it" is always tossed around, and most of the executives are legacy Abbott leaders so there is a lack of new thinking. It's a hypocritical culture of encouraging employees to provide ideas to then turn around and ignore/punish those who think differently.

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!
