Pros

Good Pay, It's in the Chicago Metro Area (albeit pretty much Wisconsin), and the people are friendly.

Cons

Really bureaucratic, way too uptight of a culture, and you get pigeon-holed into small tasks that have no strategic or analytical capabilities. The first time you get a glimpse of any strategy or legit high-level thinking in my experiences was at the controller level.

Pros

Dynamic environment often allows for great on-the-job learning opportunities. Great people Decent pay and benefits

Cons

Limited advancement - Like many companies advancement is based greatly on who you know. A major issue is management doesn't change much so the same people are promoted or given developmental opportunities. Not much diversity in leadership ranks Still working out the kinks from the split from Abbott (systems, processes, etc.) which caused a lot of busy work and doesn't always allow time for analysis. I would recommend Abbvie to a friend but not in the Finance function.

Pros

Compensation is very good both salary and bonus plans, flexible hours, good working conditions.

Cons

Very disconnected between areas, poor communication all around, lake of leadership, very manual processes, lack of accountability in employees. Too many business buzzwords and initiatives thrown about, with little action or delivery. Lack of opportunities unless you are based in Chicago headquarters.
