Unfortunate experience.

Pros

I can’t think of any.

Cons

If you are a company about to be acquired by Abbvie and wondering what will happen to your team, it is unfortunate but you can expect no communication from them. Do not expect them to review your employee’s contributions, talent, and value to your current employer, their loyalty, or their qualifications. They consider none of this and will do what they want and with no communication or willingness to consider any way other than their own. It’s very sad.

Filled with Toxic Managers

Pros

Bought cookies constantly - there's your raise

Cons

Toxic managers making you work in the office. Not giving you deserved raise because someone else in the department is already getting one - they use "behaviors" to knock you down. CEO living like a king out in California while treating employees like garbage.
