Pros

Very few that I can think of. Any “pros” this company may offer are not unique and are also at other companies. Pension and health insurance but most companies offer that anyway. The people are good to work with.

Cons

Where do I start? Bullying from management and criticism of staff. Managers making inappropriate comments about how they feel current employees will perform in their new roles after handing in their notice. Poor “training” and analysts being blamed when things go wrong. No equipment or resources and staff blamed yet again. Blame culture galore. Stagnant wages increasing slower than inflation. Favouritism and nepotism. Technically incompetent supervisors who haven’t a clue about the test methods or basic scientific knowledge. Key people such as metrology are not there for most of the day. No purification water most of the time. No regard for safety. Waste streams left in bunds and open containers. Wages not paid on time or at all. Incompetence in payroll (gross incompetence). Supervisors, HR, and management ignoring emails. Scheduling is focused on getting stuff out the door with little regard for quality or safety. No 6 s, especially safety.

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!
