Idorsia contract

Quote
























This is an absolute disaster of a hiring process! Every manager is doing something different and I promise you decisions on who to hire were made before the final interview. I wonder if the general public knowledges the amount of money Pharmaceutical companies, waste on things like this. I need to reach out. The flights, hotels, meals, etc, for candidates they have NO intentions of hiring. Shame on you Idorsia/Syneos!!!
 






Definitely not an ideal hiring process. And I did ask about a direct hire at some point and was told that was never going to happen because the new pipeline drugs would go to a specialty sales force again hired by syneos. So don't pass up a better direct hire position for this.
 






RIDICULOUS hiring process. If this is the way Syneos hires, I will be looking elsewhere. The cattle call hiring process was popular back in the 90's. Syneos, you need to get up to date!
 






I was very impressed with hiring process, managers I met with and upper management. We were told upfront that 2 people were being flown out, only one would move on. They made flight reservations for late in the day for this reason. Anyone flying out knew they would be there all day no matter moving on or not. Not sure why everyone is upset for having to wait...you were told that would be the case on your interview day. If you weren't okay with that, then you shouldn't have flown out to begin with.
 












So, for someone that's never worked in contract..
IF accept offer, and given start date, etc., (assuming after possible approval date).

What if you've turned in notice in current role, drug isn't approved, FDA requests additional safety information, etc.

I guess you are left holding an empty bag??

In other words, when shld someone turn in notice in these touchy situations?
Nothing is a given here...there are no other drugs in the bag.

Hopefully you had a smart as answer. I would have said, “are you asking me if I’m coachable? I’m not retarded, of course I’m teachable. I’m also coachable.”

I told my hiring manager I would resign current position on Day 1. She was fine with that.

I just wish Jennifer, Michael, JC, or someone in Upper Management would realize what most are feeling who are going through this hiring process and make some changes before it’s too late and no one wants to work for Syneos. It didn’t use to be like this five years ago. Syneos is getting a bad name. Reps talk. And over 500 nationwide are not happy with this hiring process. You will never be able to attract top talent with a six-seven interview process, all these hoops to jump through and being strung out for over seven weeks. But…. then again maybe they aren’t interested in attracting top talent. Just get the contract done, fill the spots with lowball offers and move on to the next one. Turn em and burn em approach won’t work for much longer. Competition will and already has started to exploit this.

contracts are for reps who cant get any other manufacturer to hire them. There is no advantage to working for any contract company.

Personally, I applied with syneos because I'm in a smaller market with fewer pharma opportunities. The advantage for me is staying in pharma until a better direct hire position comes along and collecting a paycheck. Their is nothing wrong with working a contract position.
