Pros

Excellent company always included in the top 20 ranking. The best product and pipeline Good structure and excellent vision. Support to physicians in their education and patients to achieve their disease improvement goals

Cons

- In their efforts to be competitive have lost the main focus of pharmaceuticals that is health. Some of the strategic look like they were promoting any other product less than medicines as shampoo, for example. - Has a good compliance rules and department but some times it doesn't is useful for employees, if some people with power bulling or hurt you. I was working there for 11 years first in Abbott then as AbbVie and at the end I had strong differences with my boss and I decided to put a complain for workplace harassment, the response from HResourse management was a complete derision. By recommendation of my doctor, I had to leave the company due to the big emotional damage that caused on me a big and deep depression. In less than 2 years my brilliant former boss were fired.... At the end as always I want to say thank you AbbVie for the big lesson that you had bring to my life.... I had learned what I don't should do

Pros

Big Pharma Name Recognition: Having Allergan/AbbVie on your resume provides industry visibility.

Cons

Extreme Governance & Bureaucracy: Allergan is paralyzed by red tape. There are far too many governance layers just to get basic regulatory strategies vetted out. Flawed Compliance Infrastructure: Product approvals are heavily dependent on documentation. However, current records are completely inadequate. Management fundamentally fails to understand how these systems are interlinked. Unqualified & Absentee Leadership: The leader with department oversight completely lacks the expected knowledge and experience for this level, making her a massive liability. She is rarely in the office but knows exactly how to work the system. She aggressively pushes for unnecessary, in-person regulatory meetings solely to accumulate personal travel points rather than to mitigate actual business risks. Disastrous Transition Management: The leadership transition wreaked total havoc across the department. Negligent HR Department: HR shows zero interest in investigating why good talent is leaving the company. Alarming Job Security Signs: It is a massive red flag when a leader encourages employees to apply for roles entirely unrelated to their expertise, or receiving automated AI notifications about job openings outside your department.
