Life at Madrigal

Quote





Wish I could say it was going smooth. Med Affairs a shitshow with management that doesn’t know what the heck it is doing! Nurse VP and her lapdog consultant from west coast are totally ignorant. Steve, well, is as clueless as when I knew him from a past job. Had a lot of potential, but they let rules, numbers, and quotas get in their way.
 


The good things about working for Madrigal are the pay and the product. However, there are a lot of frustrations. There are too many employees who aren’t in sales roles, which makes things feel inefficient. There's also a lot of micromanagement from the company overall. Moving up seems to be more about pleasing the right people than earning it through merit. Additionally, there are too many employees who don’t contribute much to the company.

So it’s a Pharma company. People don’t kiss ass because they like to, they do it because it works.
 


Had a recruiter call me about an open position. Talked to three people who work for them, and none of them were positive about the company. Huge red flag. I have known all three for years, and they are not whiners, so I have to think something is very wrong. Took a pass and found something else. The team’s leader I know from past reputation, and hers is very, very bad.
 


Territories are exceedingly small, two of the managers in the Northeast were canned from Gilead but somehow ended up here (don’t trust either one) and the micromanagement is over the top. Other than that, all good……
 








The current organizational culture increasingly reflects a concerning tolerance for non-accountability and a lack of ownership. Teams are overwhelmed by constantly shifting strategies, unclear priorities, expanding scopes, and the absence of structured processes or adequate systems. As a result, deliverables are consistently missed, and this lack of follow-through has, troublingly, become normalized. Despite significant effort and activity, progress remains stagnant—akin to paddling hard but going in circles.
 




Beware of the West is Worst Team in the ARM role. The Manager is a nice women but has absolutely ZERO management experience and is way out of her depth and completely focused on her personal agenda. Completely oblivious to the damage her actions are causing to the team. Hard to completely blame her in that her manager is just as lost. One resignation and counting.....

The whole company is about two levels beyond their experience and competency. Everyone is just looking to cash out and take their elevations with them to the next company.

Agreed — never saw so many Sr Dir, Exec Dir, and VPs hired who are lacking in their basic job function skills, abilities, knowledge, accountability, and leadership.

Look at Medical Affairs–never seen such a top-heavy organization in my life. There are far more queen bees than workers, and most of thee queen bees don’t know their butt from a hole in the ground.
