Jobs

Allergan, most known for Botox, is one of the oldest pharma companies in the US. Since we're midsize at about 5000 employees, our projects move fast and with little bureaucracy. I work in R&D New Drug Development and the atmosphere is great. Our scientists aren't terribly nerdy and the m/f ratio is 1:1. Everyone says hi as they pass each other in the hall, a rarity for a company so large. Every friday we have a nice 2 hour lunch to end the work week.

Allergan has a huge 28 acre campus comprised of 5 main buildings, 2 of which are HR/Sales/Marketing, 2 are R&D and 1 manufacturing. We have a gym, tennis court, basketball court, and a full track with soccer, football and baseball fields. Benefits include 3 weeks paid vacation (increases 1 week every 5 years.. up to 6 weeks!), 10+2 holidays, 4% match 401k, 5% retirement contribution, full medical/dental/vision and prescription coverage, life insurance, education reimbursement and entertainment discounts. All in all, I love my job and Allergan is a great company to work for.
