One CS left and one CS got promoted. No one who was laid off posted for the position. Or no one was laid off

 

these are the only Genentech sales positions being posted because no one internally has applied. This should be a clear indication to steer clear of this franchise. Those who left saw the writing on the wall and took control of their future. There is no future here with this product and leadership. Novartis will own this market in 2 years and Lucentis will be the lame duck

 

ok Rejecteron troll, hop off our board. We are an extremely lean franchise (one of the leanest) with very promising future products in a couple years. I am sorry you left such a great place. You can’t come back, sorry. Good luck to you......

 

Bad Managers but not the worst in the Franchise. I had a friend displaced in the BOLD initiative and she chose to leave, rather than work in Albany. One is vindictive and clueless. She has skated through on some hidden talent none of those who work with her have realized. The other is only a manager at franchise meetings, opportunities to hired and in front of leadership. Not the worst because he is absent most of the time but his CSs feel when year end comes around.

 

No way

 

EJ was brought back so the US could cut ties with her. This franchise is a mess. Best advice is to find a new gig

 

Not entirely true. There are a few "people first"!managers on the brand.

 

Maybe so but not in New England

 

Word is that the openings in the northeast won’t be filled as the hiring manager is a clueless ditz who doesn’t have any relationship with the customers.

 

What’s the over/under that the worthless ditzy DM in Boston a) wins division of year and 2) comes back from maternity leave? She’s a sad excuse for a leader in this leaderless organization

 

She provided zero value to the sales team or franchise IMO. She was a manager not a leader. The only reason she was promoted was she was the former pet of NE Regional manager JB, and there were no female managers in the all boy DM network and the optics looked bad.

 

Lucentis is dead anyways. I mean it goes biosimilar so payers will never pay for lucentis unless a deal is done with payers, but that alone will diminish revenue. Novartis soon comes to market! They will be super aggressive, pull reps from Genentech, drive sales with a rebate program, and Genentech will definitely lose share and revenue. No direction but down for this brand, and with this horrible management team there is no way they could stem the tide against all these multiple threats. Management will be a revolving door again as there is no upside to stay and no place to make a name for themselves, which we all know is the priority of Genentech management, not actual leading people and driving sales

 

She is such a shallow B$&@?. “look at me, I wear designer clothes but have no semblance of being a manager “. She has had more recent turnover than any other manager yet doesn’t figure out why - she takes credit for those that were promoted (actually couldn’t wait to get out from under her).

 

"actually couldn’t wait to get out from under her", neither can her husband!
Your summary is the general consensus of all whom have come in contact with her, except leadership. You did leave one thing out, she is HORRIBLE with customers and they do not like her! She doesn't have a clue on how ineffective and transparent she is.

 

Should she not return, Boy Hoey has already greased the skids to take over....

 

He’s a good egg. Hope he gets his chance.

 

Well said Barry.

 

Depends on your definition of an egg. He checked a box barely as a CS before he got promoted. Being in a new role has gone to his head and he acts like he never carried a bag, above all that. If he does get a DM role, hopefully he adds value to the HCP interaction.....

 

Another Roche tool.
