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.
