Novartis

Anyone know details Novartis one year contract? Selling older product to neuro and the market saturated with competitors. They flying candidates out or Webex it’s skype?

 

Has anyone received a straight answer on the salary range for this - for experienced Neuro reps?

 

Any word on interviews or when it starts? How many people?

 

As soon as your mother blows the trainer redneck pos janitor.

 

Novatis will pull out as soon as they read the text of the recent earnings call from Paris.

 

Some people are starting on Monday, Oct. 29.

 

Not true jobs were just posted!!!

 

Jobs were posted more than 10 days ago.
Recruiters already have people they want to hire in the bag.
People were hired in a matter of days.

 

Your a fool if you take this job. It will not last beyond May. Patent is up in August of 2019. It’s going to be a waste of time and a tremendous burden on your vehicle because territories are hige

Recruiters will not say what they pay is. That is a HUGE RED FLAG!!

 

Publicis recruiters are sleeze balls - worst in the industry. Novartis will not be happy.

 

OMG, they are so taking advantage of us. Mileage reimbursement is .11 per mile. The expectation is we pay for part of our gas. So sorry I took this job!

 

Don't worry you won't be there long!!!!!! It will be a very short contract. Novartis is already discussing target date to end contract!

 

More bad news, managers will only have 6 to 8 reps which means two day ride alongs, twice a month. They all hired the biggest pricks in the system. There will be a lot of micro managing in this project!

 

I agree. Recruiter told me that we will not be getting the Novartis laptop for awhile.
It sounded like this is not a solid job.
I felt like the contract may end before Christmas.
Do you have the same concerns?

 

I can assure you it will not last beyond MAY. Market share for Gilenya tanking and when they realize nothing can be done about it, they will close the contract!

 

For people who have not worked for the company, just know that it could be a challenge to get your expenses repaid. You may spend over $1000. or more for your trip to training and then not be repaid for two months.
I had this issue. Our manager intentionally sand bagged the expenses. Our AmEx was never paid on time.
It was a total fight to get any monies reimbursed for travel or promotional activities.
It did go against my personal credit. Beware.

 

Let's see - Big non-compete in Neurology and MS + crap hiring process + trouble with expenses =
never mind.
I decided it is not worth it to me.

 

The first wave of field force started Oct 29th there will be another wave of reps starting later.
Neurologist only calls....makes large territories.
Good experience calling on these specialists.
