Allergan

"Think about working elsewhere. The flexibilty is great but NO work life balance, endless emails and no time for admin during the day. "

"Be proactive managing your career- when leasfership changes the scope of your job, be proactive and discuss what resources you need to manage the scope change. I recently saw a high-performing woman given more responsibility to run the skincare business. This added scope didn’t come with a promotion- she was told to do the work and the promotion would later come. At the same time, a male colleague was given more responsibility for contouring business. This added responsibility came with a promotion and vp title. The takeaway: men are given a promotion first, THEN asked to do more work. Women are asked to do more work first, without a promotion. "

"AGN is a great company, but field sales flexibility is highly dependent upon regional and district leadership. Upper management positions are still largely dominated by males. "

"There is a good mix of genders in all departments and several women in leadership positions. It's easy to find impressive female role models to learn from. "

"Allergan pays well and has good benefits. It is difficult for women to move up the ladder in research and development. When I worked there it was an "old boys" club."

"Be yourself, Don't hold back or accommodate because you are a woman"

"This company is improving in work-life balance. Recently implimented a generous 14 week fully paid maternity leave policy for the new year. Work from home is more widely accepted but approval depends on your manager."
