it's not, it is a glorified pharma co...aka a small pharma. Everyone on here is all on a high horse about this not being pharma. But IT IS!

I agree with both of you. Every new company now a days says they are a bio-tech company. It's the lure to get people excited. I can't imagine being more bio-tech then reading the paper while I wait to go back and drop of some samples of a drug that blocks receptors. How many hundreds of different classes of drugs do that? Enough said. Wow what a great bio-tech concept. Maybe you get to hand out hi-tech pens too.

nope because even though both Forest and Cypress say they are going to follow the guidelines, neither of them have signed it. FRX says they "follow their own high standards" but for anyone in the industry we all know that the FRX reps are some of the most shady...

You losers. You are all jeallous. I got my job here girls. See ya the stock goes way up 300% in the next 10 years, and I'm sitting on a cool $$$$ 37,500. Nice return. Genentech has done the same in the past. Not bad for a 10-2 job you jeallous losers. Tell them whatever BS you want on the interview. Just be confindent, and tell them you will bust your tail. It worked for me. Good luck and see ya at the launch meeting. Vodka on them, and party in my room. Any hotties on board yet?
For anyone trying to figure out where I am, I am in the United States. Thanks!

First is it Jealous one L smart ass. And no not really I am not Jeallous as you put it. If you cannot at least meet my salary no thank you. You're planning you retirement on a product that isn't yet. 10-2 JOB? looking to hook up at training, and the typical IT'S ALL ABOUT ME REP see this is the HIGH QUALITY pharma shit they are hiring (once again it is JEALOUS only on L there sparky. Good to know you bullshitted your way in but great reps were passed over in the process.

LOl that last post was HILARIOUS! You know we all talk about hos they want stong people, who aren't going to "drink the kool-aid". But that is EXACTLY what you are doing, you are drinking the kool-aid that PI and cypress' management is feeding you. THERE ISN'T A PRODUCT, immense uncertianty, complete dissorganization in the hiring process but yet there is such passion and people just eating up everything they have been fed. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Chill out my man. I will buy you a bottle of Vodka. I think I can hide on the expense report, but I haven't mastered the system yet - I will. Just BS your way through interviews. Drink a bunch of Dew before it so you are pumped up. Make up a bunch of stories on how you are the greatest. I like to make up stories while I lie in bed a night. Some are so good, that I haven't even tried them yet - don't want to over do it if you know what I mean. I bet most managers do the same stuff to there jobs. Good luck in the future. I may write a book on how to kick some tail on the interview. I'll send you an autographed copy if you would like.

UGH, you see this is going to be the same old shit in a poor disguise. WAKE UP PEOPLE, SNAP OUT OF THE KOOL-AID COMA!

This is a joke. Look at thte talent level here. WOW. What a great culture they are starting with stellar reps. That's what you get when you can only pay 75,000 max. I heard the mgrs only make in the high 80's. Give me a break. I guess when you have an over the counter med that not a lot of people prescribe that you have to pay royalties to Forrest for, what do yo expect. Did you see the idiot that said the stock will go up 300% in 10yrs and compares Cypress to Genentech. These people are nuts.

Get real people. They are a joke. Cypress has ZERO drugs in the pipeline! Look at the website. Maybe they can buy another one from another drug company that wantes to unload a drug like Forest did to Cypress. Is everyone here nuts or what? How is a one drug company with no drugs in development (even phase 1 trials) going to go way up in value??????????

For the people with jobs, there is too much risk, for the displaced reps, there is nothing to lose. It all depends on your life situation at the moment.

I'm a displaced rep and turned the job down anyway. The job market will be that much worse in 2009 when Cypress will have to layoff if they don't get FDA approval. I'm better off staying in the market now and finding a job that isn't contingent on the whims of the FDA.

I hear you I am in the same boat

It's not Bio-tech, it's Bio-Science, whatever the hell that means. I think it stands for Borrowed Science.

Seriously, don't respond to these posts. Half are from people that were past over and are being trouble makers by trying to stir the pot.
I assure you all- that if a rep things they can SLACK and work 10-2, it will reflect in their numbers. They may be able to "bullshit" through an interview but the truth will come out when they cannot perform. There isn't a company out there that isn't wise to all the games a few reps play. Companies have many ways to weed the bad, unethical employees out.

You shouldn't waste your time responding to these immature kids that lack responsibility and accountability.

Thanks Mom. I will slack, because I am an expert at that. I will blow your numbers away and you will think I am a hard worker. Funny you work so hard and still suck girl friend.

If you had done your homework for your interview - Cypress bought Proprius (I believe this is where the 2 diagnostics tests came from) a company with 2 drugs (Pain and RA) - there's your pipeline!!!

ooooh diagnostic tests...how exciting. Still NO PIPELINE!

Let them think they are biotech people. It must boost their ego's, and make them feel so special. They are nothing but a sample drop company without a pipeline. If the drug isn't approved, they are gone anyway. If it is approved it will not take off. In six yearss accross 22 countries in europe and China they have sold less than 100 million. That don't pay the bills folks. They all think the stock will take off based on very little market penetration. Get real. The stock was at $13 a year ago, and now trades at a 52 week low of $5. Get rich quick here huh?
FDA you are over a month past the PDUFA date? What's up. You must be amazed at teh incredible data vs. placebo you are looking at. 80% chance delayed atleast six months if they ever respond.

For some it is a paycheck for now, so why don't you get fucking real or did you get pasted up for the job. Maybe look harder for some thing better instead of bitching in here. Or better yet got get reamed by your boyfriend and make sure he uses enough KY for your liking. FYI, the FDA always drags there feet, especially over the holidays. And they will respond.. But I do agree with people with Jobs, you might want to hold off on giving your notice till the very last minute because it could take a turn in the negative direct, but to speculate is just plain BS!

Where in the FUCK did all of you learn to type and spell? ...and using "there" instead of "they're"; all kinds of stupid shit.

And one manager writes "I done ..." on another thread.

What a bunch of stupid people.

WOW! What a bold prediction, this guy must be some Wall Street power broker. Are you making a "PROMISESD" this will happen? Is "GENENTACH" still around, never heard of them? Who the hell is "AMYMORE"? Does she work for "GENENTACH"?

Keep your kid off the computer or at the very least blame your post on your kid and don't embarrass yourself again. Cypress is a risk however those that take risk are the ones that profit in the end and clearly the joker above did not get the chance.
