10 Reasons to work for BMS test
- 1. Great people, great culture
Bristol-Myers Squibb is building its future growth and leadership by renewing and strengthening its company culture. "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." Associate Director, Outcomes Research
- 2. Our Pipeline
Our pipeline has been described as the "most improved" in the industry by US magazine 'R&D Directions'. We see a bright future for the UK business and feel confident about our position in the industry. We now face no major patent losses until 2011.
- 3. Our Products
We want to be a health care leader for the future and to make a difference for generations to come.
To achieve this aim globally, we are transforming our pharmaceuticals business to focus on disease areas of significant unmet medical need. These areas now constitute half of all our pharmaceutical sales. They embody not just the needs of the world but those areas where, by virtue of our heritage or pipeline, Bristol-Myers Squibb has most to offer.
- 4. Wide-ranging career development opportunities
Career opportunities at Bristol-Myers Squibb come in all shapes and sizes and progression is not just about promotion. We allow people who want to broaden their horizons to take on additional responsibilities or make lateral developmental moves into other areas of the business. Our pipeline means that interesting opportunities present themselves all the time. For high performers who are internationally mobile, the sky is the limit: there could potentially be opportunities at our European headquarters in Paris, or even our global corporate and research offices in Princeton, New Jersey. In fact there are career progression and development opportunities in every part of the company.
- 5. Performance-based Culture
We believe in creating and maintaining a performance-based culture. To us, performance is not just about what our staff achieve, but also how they do it – we put equal emphasis on both results and behaviour.
- 6. Work/life balance
We want all our staff to enjoy a good work/life balance and we have one of the most innovative approaches to flexible working in the industry. We are always looking at ways of improving our offering to employees. As a result, Bristol-Myers Squibb is widely regarded as an employer of choice, year after year. We endorse a peer-to-peer approach and if staff wish to undertake flexible working hours, or to work from home, we are happy to consider requests as long as the desired business results can still be achieved

We run "functional excellence" programmes across a range of areas from medical to marketing to administration, to help our staff develop themselves and their careers. The programmes are based on job-specific competencies that our employees need to meet in order to do their job well.

"Bristol-Myers Squibb is a company that looks to the future. Being in a creative and modern environment - exemplified by our new building - employees feel empowered to be a bit more innovative.
