Pros

Nice benefits and pay decent work schedule More responsibilities less pay look no further

Cons

Incompetence at its finest in the fermentation maintenance group. Brand new management thinks that hiring another project manager is going to fix its problems let alone that project manager is Incompetent at his job. They let go their entire hvac group of seniors who specialized in critical equipment. Project manager supposedly has experience in hvac but farms out the work. Management is just looking for a gopher to step and fetch for this project manager because he is lazy and old and doesn't want to do anything hvac related. They want to screw your pay and dump more responsibilities on you. All that's left is the retirees that are waiting on there final day. Place is shutting down buildings and big projects are next to none if you aren't in the construction division.

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.
