Business outlook
Pros
Abbvie has fantastic resources for almost every position. I never had to worry about having data, software, vendor support or consulting services available to complete my projects. Being part of a large team also allowed me to take vacations and not worry that the project would collapse in my absence.
Cons
The company is tied to Humira. If something happens with the patent wall, then most of the high margin that provides funding for all the resources also goes away. There is also an undertone of a fear of failure. While there were great discussions about taking calculated risks, only take the risks that are guaranteed to pay off.
