Any feedback on this company? I know they're part of J and J and seem to own the market in their space.
Is Tom Leach still at Biosence Webster? Didn't JNJ divest from this company? It may be a worthwhile company, good luck with the opportunity.
Curious about the culture at this division of JnJ. How are the products regarded in the marketplace? What's the average tenure of the reps? Do people come and stay for years, or do they stay a while then move on? What's the salary range, and what kind of hours are required? I'm happy working full days, just wondering what kind of time impact this job could take on my family. Thanks for serious answers in advance
Worked here for just about 5 years now in the field. This is a company that has a great product, but I feel as though my stomach is full of Kool Aide now and I have no room for anything else. If you are field based, don't expect a healthy work-life balance. It's probably the same game that's played across many organizations when managers don't know what goes on at the day-to-day customer interaction level. As a TM, be prepared to work - this is not the type of product you can unload onto a physician as there is a lot of clinical and technical interfacing that must happen. Because of this, there are constant scheduling issues with clinical support since everyone is stretched too thin and juggling too many things. Because of the mass hiring that occurred in 09-10, there is little career potential for upward growth. They've been hiring people from outside the region and outside of JNJ for RBD and management roles. Many clinical and sales people have left because the core of what the job entails - helping the patient, has turned into helping JNJ's bottom line. There is no clear pathway to jump across different departments or other interests internally - most have decided to jump ship altogether. If you are seriously considering Biosense as a field employee, you will be pulling 10-12 hour days pretty regularly.
Biosense Approval with only PMA How did BW get approval for a new catheter with no US clinical trial, new tip design, new material of the tip, change in flow rate, change in shaft and handle material. How did this get by the FDA?
I am glad to see they reward loyalty. Tom was at Ethicon when EES was created, and still in training. When the dust settled he decided to stay at Ethicon and the next day, a DM. He is a fantastic leader with wonderful people skills. He did a great deal of good with Gynecare and Sutures. Sincerely Tom, you are the best.
