Summary: Good starter
Review: I liked the way this guide was set up. It delivered on what it said it would in terms of getting me quickly up to speed on who the big players are in the industry as well as what their specialties are. This helped me figure out who I want to target in my job search. I also really liked getting the bird's eye view from insiders on what it's like to work at the various pharmaceutical firms as well as the distinction between pharma and biotech. I've got friends in the industry who've also filled me in, but wanted to know more about other companies. I would recommend this guide to anyone looking at breaking into this industry, whether it's in the science and engineering side of things or the business, sales or marketing fields.

Summary: Accurate Company Overviews
Review: I thought the company overviews in this guide seemed really accurate and well-balanced. It gave me a better idea of which companies are doing well and which ones are having problems. Now I know which ones to focus on when I start my job search.

Summary: Great Snapshots!
Review: Not only was this guide a great and easy read (kudos on the writing), but it gave me a bunch of great snapshots on a number of companies I am now going to target as I get ready to graduate with a science degree. I especially appreciated the direct quotes from insiders on life at these different companies. Thanks, Wetfeet! I'm now going to buy your Careers in Biotech & Pharma to get more indepth info on the industry in general.
