Since 1994, Top 5 has produced concise, easy-to-use annual reports on executive pay in publicly traded companies that are widely recognized as best in class. Our current reports include:

• 2009 Executive Pay in the Biopharmaceutical Industry (Learn More)

• 2009 Executive Pay in the Medical Device Industry (Learn More)

No participation is required to order either of these two reports. You can have instant access to the data.

These annual reports reflect SEC filings through May 2009. All publicly traded (and many privately-held) companies in the life sciences sector can benefit from these reports, regardless of size or stage of development. All vital pay statistics are summarized by six levels of total employment size and revenue (including pre-revenue companies), making these reports the industry reference benchmark. Click on either report link above to see the data format and the list of companies represented in each.

Top 5 also conducts an annual compensation survey of private companies in the life sciences sector. The final report is available to survey participants only.
