DCS applied to GI/HEP

[anonymous]

Based on my regions they definitely didn’t pick the best candidates!

they passed up great representatives - short sided if you think relationships is all you need.

I had one interview for a rep position and wasn't moved to the 2nd round. The interviewers, seemingly nice people, just wouldn't budge from the Novo STAR format questions and dialogue, seemed to only care about my 'Impact Measures' and what kind of impact I was making on a regional, area and/or nation level. Why we insist on holding on to this interview format is beyond me.

Well it's "short-sighted" and "relationships are all that you need" so the fact that you can't string together a proper sentence suggests that they made the right call

When are the next round of interviews? I had the teams interview with 2 different managers last week. I’m guessing jobs will go to internal candidates.

Only novo interviews are degrading like that. Go Interview at other companies. They are way more laid back and conversational, respectful and make the candidate feel comfortable. This place is a horror show. & if your internal, the treat u extra shitty will fact check u

Does anyone know if they have put out offers on all the GI positions? I went through 2 rounds of interviews and was told I would hear something either way within a week. That was 2 weeks ago. Crickets.

I don’t believe there is another round. I also had initial interview and 2nd w/2 managers and was told those were the only interviews.

Its funny- I also had an internal interview here just like that not too long ago ( Not for the Hep/GI). It was for an internal promotion, and knew one of the managers well. Still, they treated me like crap, were very combative over everything I said or asked. Perhaps I do not interview well, but I feel like this Novo hiring protocol only wants people who have rehearsed these fake situational examples over and over again. My initial Novo interviews were nothing like this, but that was over 10 years back.

Guess that answers my question. I assume the 2 managers didn’t care for any of the 3 “strong” candidates enough to make an offer. Obviously, the internal Acquisition Team felt differently about the candidates.

Novo pre determines who they pick on the most part. You could be a great rep with awards and top performance for years and yet still the put people that are not nearly as talented in promotional positions. Very little room to move up in this company unless multiple people have your back.

Ok….so is everything fair….no.

But my experience is if you are willing to put yourself out there, interact with others including managers, and other reps from other regions, you really can go far.

I know this from personal experience. I have tried to share this information but lead a horse to water……

My point, while not fair to amazing reps that aren’t interested/willing to play this game is that you MUST advocate for yourself and it’s not the end of the world. Get your brag book from the 90s interview together!

Step up friends!!

Washed up DBM/ADCEs applied too - take a look at the ones from the south who were placed !

South is a joke. SEC RBD is the most partial RBD ever seen. He picks who goes where, then lies to everyone about virtually everything. All hype, little intellect.
