Pros

Compensation is on par with other large pharma companies. Overall there is lots of innovation and a strong work ethic at AbbVie but this varies from team to team. Management aims to promote from within so there are ample opportunities for employees to transition into new roles with more responsibilities.

Cons

Incentives like RSUs and 401k matching have long vesting schedules to encourage employee retention. Leaving the company can come at a serious cost of un-vested compensation. The company is unnecessarily top heavy with lots of middleman management consuming most of the resources. Performance expectations are high, necessitating significantly more than a 40-hour work week.

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
