Pros

Great money, benefits are good but typical of other companies.

Cons

You will not advance further in your career here unless you have a friend in a higher position and will promote you. AbbVie is not merited, its all about who you know and how long you have been here. Very unfair and nepotistic. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Leadership is terrible and don't care much for staff development. They will talk all day long about development but it is all lip service. If you have not come to this company from Abbott, good luck getting promoted no matter how good your reviews are. Can't work from home and peers are backstabbing and no one is trustworthy. They will throw you under the bus then next minute because they see you as a competition to get ahead.

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
