Some of you should post on Depomed Board.
If it is a dog of a product, a me too- it found a home.
Depomed has little to no MC access with what appears to be a weak MC team.
Perhaps the MC team has had its hands tied by corp., but it has had no wins to remark on in 2013.
Zipsor is a great efficacious product.
No one pays....except Comp!
Gralise too but, it can't even get on the board because GABA is cheap.
MC doesn't care about making a patient happy.
It's all dollars and cents.
So now add your product-that's a trifecta.
Sales team at depo in certain areas have left as quickly as they could.
Many, many looking.
The criticism for leadership is that they are old, disingenuous,more interested in playing investor than caring for or listening to their people.
They run sales like a pc sales force pitching that it is a specialty org.
Micromanagement, matrix imposition, big stick mentality.
From the beginning promising a new brand of management, offering autonomy and transparency.
All of which is rhetoric as they cling to the 70's and 80's mgt style.
They are hands off presumably to play monopoly while empowering IT henchmen who cannot even get a call plan straight.
Investing in dinner presentations to pain mgt docs with no real genuine thought leaders as champions, pathetic and embarrassing but they are not influencing but trying to buy the business.
Guaged by how many lunches one does is a benchmark to the business model they hold sacred.
Stepping back in time when disco was king.
Rumor has it that they are lusting to be in the Oxy game or some schedule 2, so here it is.
The idea of offering a full portfolio to a Pain Spec is great, but me too, non covered products, just can't get ya taken seriously.
So, if you need a job, look at Depo.
They hired a few Zipsor reps at the start!
