AbbVie is a hard charging, commercially focused, financially driven company. Half the revenue is now focused on Humira.

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall pay and promotion opportunities are good. Seems to be more loyal to commercial employees over last few years.

Cons

As products reach end of life, fear factor of layoffs is high. I went through numerous redeployments as products reached patent cliff. Half of the revenue is now focused on Humira and creating a lot of stress on employees.
