Employee Stories - Bristol Myers Squibb

It’s very hard to hear the word cancer.

This is my new body.

My grandmother’s diagnosis changed how I look at my job. 

Like my mother said, ‘one day at a time.’

We really banded together to survive.

Our job is to focus on serious disease.

Really awed and proud of all the work we are doing.

It makes me feel good about bringing options my dad didn't have.

I thought I was invincible.

To be my best, to give my best, every day.

I feel very strongly on the need to help folks.

I help people like them, have a second chance.

There’s nothing harder to see than your baby so sick.

Constant hope that we are going to have breakthroughs.

Working for Bristol Myers Squibb—It’s a gift that I and all of my colleagues at BMS have.

Their passing changed me. It showed me what I was made of.

That dedication he instilled in me has really pushed me forward.

She was always positive and thinking one day she would be cured.

Perhaps one day we may be able to treat cancer as if it were a chronic disease, and not terminal as we think it is today.

I wanted to be here more than anything else.

I had conversation with them that was almost like a last conversation.

It makes you think about what's important.

It was very real that I could end up on a feeding tube.

I feel in many ways that he is sitting on my shoulder and encouraging me.

I am very proud of the products that Bristol Myers Squibb makes.

I come to work because I want to contribute all that I can.

Once I wasn't afraid, I was able to fight the disease.

Working for a company that is a pioneer in immunotherapy for cancer is amazing.

What I thought was happening in my life suddenly changed.
