Run far away from here

Hey dumbass bill McLean hasn’t worked here in almost a year.

 

It doesn’t matter how you sell. A reps success is based on a territory where goal doesn’t increase by more than 1 or 2 scripts quarterly or a territory in which goal increases by 30-100% every quarter. Bonus is drawn out of a hat or favoritism.

 

Ivan has actually said publicly that most of the reps in the company couldn't get a job at Starbucks. It is a company that truly has no respect for the sales force. That is why they are willing to live with 30% turnover year after year. They don't want retention. They truly believe that the best salespeople are "out there" somewhere. But the minute they become Eisai reps they have disdain for them. Eisai is filled with desperate leaders trying to fulfill the fantasy forecast for a product (Fycompa) that will never happen. The product has been launched, and relaunched 3 times with all new personnel and it continues to behave the exact same way in the market place. And now they had the genius idea to hire a whole team of hospital reps, give them a fancy name and a DM salary. and guess what? Same growth trend as it's always had. Stubborn, arrogant, desperate and not too bright. And AB is just an HR nightmare waiting to crash and burn. Polish up the resume and chalk this one up to experience.

 

Couldnt have said it better.

 

Because I'm a janitor and winging it on here.

 

Sad but so true.

 

My mop handle broke, sad but so true.

 

True! I worked for Eisai during the glory days of Aricept & AcipHex, from '04-'11, and it is Eisai culture to blame the sales force for the failures of executive leadership and upper level management. The company blames the sales force more than any other company I have worked for.

 

Best advice!

 

Yes, he does.

 

It takes years to rid yourself of the Eisai stink. Beware.

 

So True, after the ALZ epic failure, if you stay here you stink.
The others who leave it takes awhile to have to rationalize your tenure here in interviews.
So many know this place would need to up their game a number of levels to hit mediocrity.
If you do not leave, your a loser-

 

I am wonder how Ivan is handling this.

Last national sales meeting he was making a case for nobody to leave and this will a great place for decades.

Today he most likely kicked Paul in the nuts and had Tone give him a hand -ob.

SK, Zogenix, and GW are going to eat your lunch and the sleep drug will be like Belviq.

Did anyone see the efficacy from the SK drug? It will dominate Fycompa in the US but quickly out sell it in the Japanese Market next year.

 

How's Alzheimer's doing? What could go wrong with Scott head of strategy?

 

LOL! Haters are gonna hate! We’ll just be over here continuing to grow our products and make that money. We’re not going anywhere 20+ years of epilepsy in the pipe and oh yeah. Sleep and oncology. Sorry we’re not worried but thanks for thinking of us!!!

 

Due for another reorg, enjoy!

 

Hate hate hate.

 

Eisai. Hilarious.
