Interview rejection









This is 110% accurate. I have yet to see one single position filled in this company in a fair manner. If the company earmarks someone for a job, it’s theirs regardless of who else applies. Just like when they decide they only want to hire external people for Onc. Guess what they don’t give a shit that you’ve been here for 18 years with 4 COE wins and want the job....they’re hiring from the outside. I’ve seen extremely qualified females be passed over for hiring or promotion simply because the male dsm said they’ll
Be out of the field too much with their kids and won’t be committed enough.. I’ve been passed over multiple times for jobs that my dsm said I was a shoe in for - — only to learn the cbd or ebd had their own Idea for who should be in the role. So In other words,, who was kissing their ass better!!. Hiring and promotions in AZ are a joke.

ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE FOR WOMEN DSM IN THIS COMPANY. They are ripe for an EEOC lawsuit. Let's see how the next oncology expansion goes. My team is betting that is every DM is internal white dude who got tapped for role and almost no internal reps even get to interview for the sales jobs.

100%. They don’t value internal talent one bit. There is absolutely ZEro Chance for anyone who already works here to move up into oncology unless they are in bed with the managers
 




Oh they love internal GUYS just not women. Most companies launch new divisions with outside managers in oncology bc they want those relationships. I get it. But how about you hire some WOMEN at least and then encourage them to bring over some sales rep talent from other divisions. For fucks sake the sausage fest is ridiculous.
 




On Internal hiring practice politics: if no one whispered in your ear to apply for said job, you can expect not to get it. Frequently jobs are clearly earmarked for specific candidates based on the background politics between managers and others beyond any of our scopes of understanding. There are some “leaders” who think they have a percentage stake or valid opinion in all promotions that occur. Keep in mind moving from one selling team to another is billed as a promotion, although all you are doing is learning a new disease state, new customers and payer strategy. Such things used to be commonplace without all the politics and theatrics. It was merely a redeployment, not a promotion. Nothing changes in terms of your core skill set.

If you weren’t asked OR TOLD to apply, you can hang it up. If you didn’t get permission from your direct manager, or they didn’t bother to coach you, or advocate for you, you merely are a distraction to an otherwise PRE-determined promotion for someone else.


I couldn’t have said it any better!
