Pros

1) Decent benefits 2) Good place to be in if you are looking for short term opportunities (3-5 years) or want to start a career.

Cons

1) Lost management with some old thinking and unclear end point. Management is deluded about reality and is attempting to make changes without TRULY understanding the present situation. 2) Unbalanced payscale - new hires could end up getting paid more than existing employees at the same level and with more years of experience or qualification. 3) Not much growth opportunity (especially if you are ambitious) 4) Too much time and resoruces are wasted in initiatives/collaborations that don't seem to pay off

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!
