I have a fair amount of retail experience and have created a bowl to help fellow consultants who are interviewing in retail and CPG. My experience is across a wide range of topics (primarily non technical) and would love to help folks get their dream job. Would be awesome if others can join and contribute their knowledge.

Mentor
I was a consultant there. By pharma standards its profitable, well run, and felt like there were less hoops as they had less tech debt.
Bowl Leader
I worked at Abbott Labs Pharma division (now called Abbvie) in past. I saw a couple of CIOs come and go. It may have stabilized since then. It is a good company culture wise. WLB is good. My immediate coworkers were my buddies. A decade later, we still joke around over emails as if I never left. That being said, there are also people who were difficult to work with and the IT leadership was quite average. Especially, after I have worked with other CIOs, I can say that they were middle of the road IT shop. The salary increase was just inflation adjusted and bonus was minimal. It all depends on who you end up working with and for. I believe that is true for many other companies out there.
Good luck.
