i love the honesty from cafepharma. Although sometimes there is bias in what is posted, full transparency in here is what is needed without the fear of retaliation. Days ago, I was recruited for one of the open territories that was either filled then someone quit or was let go and now needs to be filled again. There are red flags everywhere with the leadership. The website is incomplete for pipeline information and the feeling I get is that Lexicon and their leaders are riding the wave of a great molecule and just hoping for the best. It's too early to tell but this could be another canagliflozin, janssen, flop...except this could be worse being 4th to market.
Looking at the some of the FLL, hiring for this position is like looking at a roster of veterans on a baseball team, just looking to collect a paycheck and hoping for the best. Seasoned pharma managers and leaders let go from their positions, does not equate to a better culture, strategy of salesforce. Therefore, I will be extremely cautious and make sure is have a written offer with everything I ask for before turning this down. More money is not worth the constant headache of working like this. Good luck to all who make it somewhere else.
