Does anyone have any info on what it’s like to work for Flexion Therapeutics in sales? Salary range? Benefits? Company car? Thanks in advance.
Small company, high pressure, good salaries. Product is a tough sell until they get more indications.
The product is amazing, the business model is not. No specialty pharmacy option (assignment of benefit) it’s only buy and bill. The drug is very expensive, and the physicians make under 30 dollars on it if you’re in the West side of the country. So after billing, supplies, and your staff, the Dr is in the red. Why risk 600 of your own money to make 30? It’s not an easy sell.
They have no idea about the OA market. Worse, they talk like they know. No transparency in this company. All you'll get from upper management are lies and exaggerations.
if you are applying for a field position in the East region, run. You'll get no support from any of the RSD's. They have no idea about the OA space except for the NE guy. Price is too high for a steroid that can only be administered once, no repeat usage (FDA) indications.
Cant be worse than Sanofi!! but I heard FLexion is horrible company and the bonuses are bad ,.Very hard product to sell
Bad, bad culture. People are leaving or getting fire by the dozens. This company is for horrible people that pretend to be good. Good luck Ya'll!
Hello. I have seen some turn over with reps/mgrs from Flexion. Am applying for a position. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
Currently in the interview process...talk about a cluster. Like 10 phone interviews in and the recruiters don’t even provide follow ups. Literally a week or two passes before the next follow up email. Just really, really odd.
The pay is good, or at least was at launch. The pressure is very high now with goals high and not making them. If you don't already have relationships in ortho, don't bother. They are putting people on a plan in just 3 months if they don't produce. Very high turnover of course, which is a stupid way to run a company.
If you want to torture yourself you have other alternatives. You can work in rare for BW or go to Kaleo. Yikes.
Agreed! Super nice people in interview, then never heard from again. Have to follow up with Recruiter yourself.
Unless you are utterly desperate to get a job, stay far away from this company. 35% or more of the sales force has turned over in 2 years. New reps are hired and fired within months of their start date. The co-founder of the company just left, the entire home office access team left within 5 days of each other, it's not uncommon for 30-40% of a region to be vacant. If you love weekly micro management, double-digit goal increases, completely unrealistic expectations, strong arming or begging your customers for orders, this is your company.
