We think Bristol-Myers Squibb is one of the best places to build a career in the pharmaceutical industry.
But don't just take our word for it - read what our office and field-based employees have to say about their roles, the working environment and their colleagues.

Associate Director, Outcomes Research
“Bristol-Myers Squibb takes a lot of the best things about other companies and brings them together in one place. From the collaborative atmosphere to the enthusiastic approach to work many of us share, there’s a strong focus on doing the right things and communicating openly that makes this a great place to work.”

Manager, Clinical Site Monitoring
 “I joined Bristol-Myers Squibb in 1995 in a temporary administrative role and now manage all our field-based staff involved in trial monitoring.
 “After working at Bristol-Myers Squibb for a short time I realised I wanted to become a permanent member of staff and develop my career here. I now manage a team of 11 Clinical Site Monitors in UK and Ireland who are responsible for the monitoring of all our clinical trials. This team is critical in monitoring and collecting our trial data which enable us to produce great products.
“I’m very proud of our products and there are plenty more exciting and innovative products in our pipeline. It’s a privilege to feel that you’ve contributed towards these medicines and helped make them available to patients who really need them.
“The best things about Bristol-Myers Squibb are our pipeline products and our people - and the two go hand in hand. Without dedicated and talented people, you can’t build the pipeline and you also need an exciting pipeline to attract the best people. We’re lucky enough to have both, so it’s an exciting time to be working here.”

Medical Education Manager
“I joined Bristol-Myers Squibb in 2002 after working as a sales representative for another pharmaceutical company.
“For me, one of the main attractions of Bristol-Myers Squibb is the chance of progression within the company is higher than at the bigger corporations. There is a definite culture of promoting from within, which I have benefited from.
“The company has an excellent reputation – I think our corporate ethic is quite unique in the industry, making it a great place to work. Although we’re a significant player in the UK marketplace, our size means we are also close-knit. There’s a real sense of teamwork which makes it easy to build networks with people across the organisation.
“My job involves supporting opinion leaders and the development of medical education within our Plavix® and Aprovel® brand teams. I ensure we produce balanced medical education that contains the key information for each product and is firmly rooted in evidence-based medicine”.

Hospital Representative
“I started at Bristol-Myers Squibb in February 2002 as part of a contract team and became a permanent sales representative in December 2002.
“My job involves selling cardiovascular medications Plavix® and Aprovel® to key customers in primary and secondary care. I provide our customers with expert opinion on both products.
“I really get a buzz out of the job because you can actually see your work making a difference to other people. This might be as simple as seeing a patient on a hospital ward who has received Plavix®, or from a sales point of view successfully implementing a new service for our customers.
Bristol-Myers Squibb is a good company to work for because they constantly recognise and reward success, whilst also providing you with continuous opportunities to develop your career.

Administrator, Sales and Marketing Effectiveness
“Charity goes some way to filling the gaps in this not so perfect world, and knowing that through giving some of my time, I can contribute in a small way towards making someone else’s life better gives me a real sense of pride. Many of our staff take part in charitable activities and it is done with heart and an enjoyment that is infectious.”
