Still a pharma company, but one with a heart.

Pros

BI is a great place because there are motivated, engaging people working there. Everyone works really well together and we all have a lot of fun on the job. The friendliness between the employees helps to foster teamwork and as a result we work faster and get more done. The company cares for its employees pretty well, so it is a very comfortable place to work. In addition, BI spends a lot of time, effort, and money to make products and processes that are environmentally friendly and efficient. Few companies are willing to take such responsibility on their own, so it is refreshing to be in an environment where this is a priority.

Cons

The work here can get a little repetative, and at the end of the day, you are still working for a big pharmaceutical company that wants to make money. This has affected a few of the devices my department has designed. For example we spent a lot of time designing something to be reusable in order to save plastic, however the company decided to make it one time use so that it would be more profitable. In addition, the location of my particular branch is in a particularly boring, small, and industrial city, which makes life outside of work less varied. However, I think the companies good qualities far outweigh the bad.

Pros

Reasonable pay, decent benefits (although Medical is slipping), fair amount of PTO. Excellent rank and file employees.

Cons

Senior management can be very inflexible. Too much time wasted on constantly changing policies. "Diversity" for all but white males.
