    I also applied for the position in Chicago and did not hear back. I am currently selling in the orphan biologic neurology space. I also live in the norther suburbs as the position requested. Does anyone know if the position was pulled and not going to be filled?

    Thank you

    The intensity and number of hours you will work will not equate to anything better than the average biotech start up at $/hour invested.
    It’s all about your manager. If he/she “gets it” and allows you some space to grow, succeed and at times stumble and recover... you may stay a while. If your manager smothers you, and most do!, 2 years will become an eternity.

    The stock has taken a beating. So the “equity pull” should be offset by $160K-$170K on RAM base if you’re wise. (Trust me. They’ve got the dough.)

    I would hunt down as many current and former Alexites as possible. Do yo’ due diligence. ;)

    Good luck. And remember... it’s a career, not a religion. Do not sign the billion year contract when you get to initial training.

    Will they do cash sign on bonuses or is it stock only? Casje is preferred and the last company I went with gave me both. Just curious because cash dign on may make the devision for me if they are in range on salary.

    They only do cash sign-ons for people with a current version of spellcheck.

    Well when you used to be a sr regional manager and you decide you dont want to travel 4 days a week, the negotiated rate was 162k. That was only a 55k pay cut to demote yourself at new biotech company. I'm actually happy where I am, but was reached out to by a recruiter for the RAM role and was told base could go up to 170k for qualified candidates. Sounds like it's not worth the 8k raise and headache to join at this point.

    Alexion retains some incredibly unscrupulous recruiters. Don’t believe a word they say. Track down current and former RAMs

    Have they completed the expansion? There are a lot of jobs still posted.

    The recruiter said it was a cure for GMG, nothing I found on google or webmd suggest there is a cure but rather a surgical procedure with about 50% remission. Is the recruiter lying or is there a new indication that we don't know about? How bad is the culture? WHere do the majority of the leadership team come from? Is it all ex big pharma? Please be candid, I don't want to waste 1/2 day of my life to as there are plenty of good companies hiring. The salary got my attention! Thanks all!

    Recruiter reached out to me, whole song and dance, great money, manager, product, pipeline, blah blah blah.
    Can't wait to present you. I sent resume and completed questionnaire and she went dark!!!
