So you are not actually hired by the pharma company but by the agency?
Then of course agency will take a cut, but that makes you a contractor for the agency, not an employee of the pharma co.
Most of the time the contract between the client and the agency will prohibit the client from transferring the agency contractor to their own headcount. Otherwise everyone just pull the stunt - get the contractor then dump the agency.
Anyway one of the selling points of using an agency is to be flexible so that companies can maintain lean headcount. Very unlikely the same company will suddenly put you under their payroll and jeopardize their plans.
