AbbVie reviews

It depends on what group you are in to determine the workload that is expected of you. Other reviews claim a good work/life balance while my experience and that of colleagues proves otherwise. Working at home after hours and weekends is necessary to meet deadlines. I heard of at least one employee who routinely stays until 1:00 AM to complete their work while another co-worker claimed they are working much harder than they did in a academic job, which are notoriously demanding. Scientists conduct experiments but don't have time to document them in the electronic notebook. The salary is good but you will work for it at the expense of personal time.

Diversity exist in silos. Employees are expected to perform two grades above current job title to receive a positive review. Salary increases are minuscule. Don’t accept an extremely low offer with sign on bonus. You’ll regret it. Promotions are 100% political. Negotiate desire job title before accepting position. Managers blocks lateral moves or advancement to other teams. Middle managers are unable to perform and afraid to make decisions. The company culture advertised is very different from the day to day culture. Most people shuffle papers and are paid to not think. Just check boxes. Many “legacy” employees are entitled and unaware of industry standards\norms. Company culture will never change.
