Drug Discovery and Development
• a costly and time consuming process• 0.5-2 billion dollars to bring a new drug (New Chemical Entities, NCE) to
market varies (includes the cost of all drug development which did not result in a new drug)

Big PharmaPros
• Specialized learning and training opportunities • Access to wide range of state of art technologies• Chance to work in multidisciplinary teams• Chance to work globally and across cultures• Chance to transition from research to other functions
Cons• Can be put in a specialist box which is hard to get out of • Many layers of management• Little or no contact with higher levels• Slow decision making, too many meetings• Bureaucracy and processes• Creativity can be quenched• Promotion can take a long time• Better chance to be promoted by joining another company

BioTechPros
• Flater organisations, few layers• See all functions, including business side, broad learning• Direct contact with upper management• Faster decision making• Rapid progress• More chance to have an impact on company• Easier to progress to higher management level
Cons•Budget limited• Specialized training not usually given, learning on the job•May not have access to state of art equipment•Will depend on outsourcing/outside collaborations to get everything done
•Few benefits unless stock options pay off (long term)• Companies can have a short life
