Former Employee – worked at Medicis Pharmaceutical full-time for more than 7 years

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Medicis Pharmaceutical full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – This review is before the Valeant acquisition and will most likely not apply after. Great perks; yoga classes, game room, benefits, 401K/ profit sharing, and competitive salaries.

Cons – Very process heavy, regulatory and legal processes are extensive for all departments. Some higher up management are not good managers and would be best utilized in other areas. Certain departments do not recognize hard work; advancement opportunities come through being here a long time.

Advice to Senior Management – Reallocate manager positions to those that can and want to manage people.
