<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3306616"]No BS, Covidien is a great company to work for but be under no illusions, they want results and a track record of success. Of course you will find unhappy employees everywhere. How many happy employees are going to venture onto this site? Chances are high you are not getting a good representation here. I came from B2B A number of years ago so I have seen every interation of the company. This is by far the best. Is it perfect? Of course not, but what company is? Covidien is a leader in their field, taking market share from competitors and the compensation is great if you are growing your business. The comment about culture is correct, every division is different. I am in Device and I prefer to hire successful B2B people. Some Surgical Device divisions, like EBD, are more likely to require previous clinical experience, more because of the training component than anything else. the old US Surgical division has great training and wants good sales people. Pharma is a black mark with some hiring managers but not with others. I will interview Pharma reps if they have some B2B experience but experience has taught me that they have trouble making the jump if they have been in Pharma very long. I don't rule them out automatically but make them jump through hoops to be sure they can make the transiton successfully. It is possible to move from one division to another but the jumps are usually from one device company to another. It is more rare to move from Pharma to Device but not impossible. Keep pushing and you will get there but try to get to the manager directly. Be creative, some are very receptive to your efforts, especially in device. </p><p>Good Luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
