Pros

When I went to work in Oncology at AbbVie, I was very interested in working on Rare Disease again and their molecular program was presented as impressive. Upon arrival it was immediate dissent. The CEO gave notice, several employees just didn't show up but sent emails that they were quitting due to a lack of structure or management. I stayed because Oncology is a an area of interest for me.

Cons

I left after being mis-managed and having to manage the verbal and psychological abuse the leads and director dumped on all their employees. The Director (a male) made sexist, and racist comments openly and often left meeting with staff jaws open. This company has/had a good reputation for staff and culture, but just a scratch and you can see it for what it is. BAD

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.
