I couldn’t find one example of rare disease experience in the management and / or marketing and training teams!
What happened to that trainer/rep position they posted for as well?
Could never get a clear answer on the comp package....what was the salary range??
 








Look at all the butt hurt candidates coming out from under their bridges. Just proves Dova is the place to be! We used you for information. We are now done with you. Get lost!

All of those numbers are well below market value for real rare disease reps. Also heard equity packages were a complete joke. If you're getting anything less than 5000 options/RSUs at a start-up, then why would you take the risk to go to a start up. Thats just taking advantage of some naive sales people starving for something different.
 




Agreed, you make a move to start up for equity. It’s not a good sign that they are only willing to do 2-3k options with no RSUs. It’s just a little cheap if you ask me. Definitely not what most start ups that want to be around for awhile would do.

For rare disease, this is below average. Just being honest as my current comp plan. I also have >10 years of rare disease experience with several launches at start ups.

In order to attract top talent, both salary and bonus potential have to be significantly higher in addition to generous up front equity stake, yearly stock grants, generous 401k match, car program etc.

Lol...if this person only knew how many true rare disease folks pulled out of these interviews. The recruiter Dova used is also a sign of ineptness.

Also, nice grammar! Sounds like a quality individual you've got there.
 








Anyone else find this entire interview experience very strange? Yes, I get the “start up” aspect but it seemed all over the place with disjointed interview panels, zero conversation and a total lack excitement of what they are building?
Maybe management is also feeling the same from above themselves is my only guess as to this place? Complete opposite experience from the Rare Disease places I’ve interviewed....
 




There seem to be a lot of people who say they can care less about this opportunity but still feel the need to post on CP. Why are you naysayers so pressed to post on here? My advise, move on. With that said, they are behind on getting offers out. Be patient. Overall, this is a good opportunity. It will open the door for those who do not have rare disease experience and expand the door for those who do.
