"I have worked for Allergan for ten years. It is a great environment to work in, with challenging goals, opportunity to learn new technologies, and the freedom to explore innovative approaches. The headquarter of the company is located in Irvine, CA with sites worldwide. Allergan is being acquired by Actavis. I hope the positive culture of the company continues after the acquisition."

"It is a good company, they are doing very well these days, but too much office politics in our department."

"Allergan is a fairly good employer. It pays well, but career growth is very subjective. Not much scope to work on leading edge technologies due to bureaucracy. Projects are very poorly managed in most cases, dragging on for months and years at times. Senior management is a bit complacent when big projects gobble up huge chunk of budget, leaving little for investing in new technologies/projects."
