Cadence will be hiring soon

Hey everyone, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out when some of the postings on this thread include swear words and other nasty language, that they are either psotings from management already onboard at Cadence or someone that is upset because they counted on this job. There is no reason to be nasty - everyone is just giving their opinions.

It is obvious that management is scrambling to keep everyone onboard and they have a huge fear of losing everyone. Here is a fact that many of you may not know. Do you realize that the current managers are being paid currently on retention? This is a fact and you can certainly ask the person that would be your manager. They have nothing else to do and that is what they are paid on. Everyone internally is fearful that all the candidates will now take other opportunities, which is going to happen. No one can wait forever. If you are a top candidate, then it would be foolish for you to at least check the market out. If someone is going to knock you for looking or leave messages with nasty language, you know they feel threatened. I agree with the other poster - do what is right for you. If the job opens up in the next several months, that will be great, but protect yourself by continuing to look. We all know that deep down there is no loyalty anymore. You need to watch out for yourself. If you think this drug will be approved in March - forget it! If you think it will be approved in APril - forget it! May - Highly unlikely. I agree with the others that even if the issues are resolved in the next 6 weeks, there will be several meetings afterwards and the FDA will be very weary of saying yes right away until they are absolutely sure because of potential liability. The details at the manufacturing plant should have been heavily scrutinized by both Cadence and Baxter months and months ago to ensure the highest level of quality, safety, and manufacturing. It shouldn't have taken the FDA to find all these mistakes - some of which are pretty serious. If you can manufature a consist drug product time after time, this is a BIG problem. In the next couple of weeks, everyone will be getting the warm and fuzzy calls to make sure that no one walks away. There will be more than 50% that will walk away - the rest just simply wont be able to find a comparable job any sooner.

If I understood your post you are saying that the managers are getting paid to retain the reps that have accepted the contingent offers?

Interesting, very interesting!

They could relax some if they enhanced the benefits package. So cocky about everything THEY want and expect from candidates, yet THEY can't get the drug to market. They should be concerned about losing candidates considering the issues that have surfaced, and the piss poor package! Candidates could buy into the "opportunity minus stock options" initially, but this second delay is a deal breaker.

Step it up Cadence!

You couldn't have said it any better. I am done. The only posters that don't agree with you are current management trolling the threads (and they all got nice stock option packages)

Okay. Lay out side by side the CADX opportunity vs. the average pharma opportunity. Or, the best opportunity out in the market today.

Step it up poster!

Are you really that out of touch? ANy decent pharmaceutical companyis going to provide a company car including gas, all maintenance, 24 hour free road assistance, and personal use. In the Cadence scenario, you will have to utilize your own existing car, provided it is under 5 years and it is on their list of acceptable vehicles. If you need to purchase a care, it needs to be well over the 20k price mark. At minimus you will need to purchase a new car every 5 years because they don't want you driving any car over the age of 5 years. They are giving a very minimal car allowance between 400 to 500 dollars for most per month and a measly 18 cents a mile. You will lose money on this deal. Think of general maintenance costs which really can add up in money and headaches. You will need other tings like AAA as well. Gas prices continue to increase. They are taking the easy way out. They don't offer long term disability - this is so scary. Whta happens if you get sick or injured? You are screwed. Most pharmaceutical companies offer this because it is very needed. They don't have a 401K - so no match. Most companies offer a 401K match - at minimum if you are giving this up, you are probably looking at a 10K loss per year. Have you looked at their basic medical package? It is extremely basic and costs a lot of out-of-pocket money on a monthly basis for either an individual or family. Ask about your promotional dollars - they are very very low. You may have been offered a good base, but are totally losing everywhere else. They have attracted people on supplying a decent base, but have been lapse on giving details on all the other benefits. You have to weigh everything out, but without the decent benefits, you will probably lose in the end.

amen! And by the time we are "officially" hired, I'll be making the same amount of money they offered me, because I have a review coming! They won't really know who's gonna stick around and wait until the actual day they receive approval.

This was not the "best" opportunity... It WAS the "only" opportunity. (your statement vs. avg. pharma opportunity.... I don't know where you have your head, however for the folks who have not ventured out of the pharma market there is NO pharma opportunity for any of these folks) Good Luck SCIOS Campers. Too bad J& J doesn't have any pharma jobs listed

No, you have it all wrong - we are all realists. You are completely out of touch with reality. Go ahead and put all your eggs in this basket, but don't scorn others that want to discuss this issue. You either are completely clueless or you are one of the very worried managers already onboard - which is it? Go ahead and read the latest analyst articles - they are saying early 2011 approval.
 






First of all, who says that I am putting all of my eggs in one basket. Yes, I believe it is wise to keep looking for other opportunities in a time such as this, but get real. This whole thing is about everyone complaining about the benefits, the car package, etc. Are you serious? Have you seen the nation's unemployment rates? When this comes through, the reps will be paid at the top 3% of the entire country, so stop your whining and go find another fantastic job with all of those other opportunities that await you. The investors don't know any more and probably even less than the upper management at Cadence what is going to happen. Maybe it will be a while, but so what? If you really hate what they are offering you...disappear. I say, either wait it out and be happy when it happens, of go away and find another job. It there is so much awaiting you out there, then why are you wasting all of your time moaning on this board?
