Pros

Interesting products so you can get good experience of selling high value low volume products. You genuinely feel you can make a positive difference to patients lives. Plus the best guys on the ground I have ever worked with.

Cons

Management are clueless. They manage by fear, blame, buck passing. Way to many middle managers, I have never worked in a company where there are so many managers that appear to do nothing. The worst thing about the company is the way they treat employees who offer an opinion when they are asked for open and honest feedback by mgmt. I agree with a previous reviewer, the 2 days extra holiday if you scored the annual survey higher really sat uncomfortably with me

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!
