AbbVie Reviews

Pros

Loyalty to its employees, communication is clear , team members are great! Feel of togetherness even when traveling

Cons

Lots of process improvements but accepting the change is key and sharing ideas on surveys sent

Pros

Great products and some good people there.

Cons

Too much change in Management. Hires friends not that qualifies or others over others much more qualified just because they seems nice, Then later find out they didnt fit at all. I knew someone who created and build a whole entire successful sales team when it was Allergan and they turned them down for someone way less qualified and no experience.

Pros

Great benefits, good salary, very flexible schedule, really value their employees

Cons

Very hard to get into the company so one you are in you don't want to leave

Pros

Remote employment Top pay Excellent benefits package

Cons

Micromanagement of all phone calls, Teams messages etc.

Pros

Nice job and company to work for

Cons

Too far to travel from city

Pros

Decent culture, agile environment, hard workers

Cons

Lack of transparency from leadership

Pros

My review is solely based on the Global Metrology Group. I think AbbVie outside of that Group is probably great. The benefits are amazing. Unfortunately new hires no longer get enrolled in the pension. The culture is very diverse friendly, and they treat their workers with the utmost respect. I used to be proud seeing our commercials come on TV. Made me proud!

Cons

Over the 3 years I was with the company I witnessed numerous violations against AbbVie's' policies and FDA regulations. I constantly tried to change what was going on but Global Metrology Management didn't care. Violations Summary: (Elements of each as they relate to the Metrology program at AbbVie) Pharmaceuticals 21 CFR 211 Biologics 21 CFR 606 Medical Devices 21 CFR 820 Human Tissues 21 CFR 1271 Advice to potential Metrology candidate: The Global Metrology Group is highly resistive to change due to legacy Abbott employees and weak Management. If your work ethic is to follow Metrological standard's and be an agent for change, this place is not for you. I tried for 3 years and 10 months. I didn't leave because I was shown the door I left of my own volition.

Pros

Great pipeline to be passionate to work for. Good enough benefits (not the best in industry).

Cons

The company is getting too big from acquiring so many new compounds, and does not take care of the employees working on older (not-blockbuster) compounds. The culture is just not the same, everyone is way overworked and underpaid and underappreciated.

Pros

This is a good company with a robust training program. For anyone new to the industry, this is a good training ground to gain valuable experience and build your resume. Regular turnover also means opportunities for growth.

Cons

Typical corporate anxieties that are associated with regular turnover at the management level. The pay is also well below the industry standard. Workload depends on product line, but is generally quite high, especially with regular staffing issues. They operate on a hybrid system, with employees allowed to work from home only 2 days per week.

Pros

Some good people there Interesting work

Cons

General culture moving towards generic pharma industry No warning in layoffs (1 week notice) Upper Management constantly turning over. Recently removed most of the mid and senior management that was actively trying to improve the culture and train people for advancement.
