Pros

Lots of great people to work with. Work life balance is not bad.

Cons

Middle management is very heavy. It can be org dependent, but generally speaking managers optimize for optics, not substance. Leadership incompetence is rampant and morale can be low. Highly political given the middle management heavy structure. Lack of growth opportunities and managers are not serious at developing employees. No accountability in managers because stability of middle management structure is prioritized at the middle management level.

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!
