Surely there are plenty of people on this site who do or did work for Novartis. We remember Galvus, Famvir, Lotrel, Zelonorm and that crazy gout drug that was supposed to be approved this time last year.
We all know managers who got "promoted" to BRMs who are now glorified overlay reps. We all know 2011 Presidents' Club winners who are now waiting for their severance checks. We know there are been few contests/incentives since oh about 2007 & that a lot of Novartis reps resumes are really exercises in creative writing.
We remember Ludwig and the whole cast of characters who mysteriously moved on. We remember "Breakaway Selling", "Performance Frontier Selling", "SOAP" and "A to B Shifts". Trust us, we are very familiar with Novartis.
