I am currently interviewing for a diabetes sales position. Can someone give me insight into this role and why are they hiring if they just had lay offs?

well that's a really interesting question. why do the "leaders" hire hundreds of sales reps and DM's and then let them go a year later? "But we didn't know we were going to let people go when we hired them!" Sorry, that doesn't pass the smell test. lemme splain it to you. People are hired when there is a future opportunity and when that opportunity no longer exists; people are let go. Maybe a high SOM was obtained, maybe a patent expiry will occur, maybe a forthcoming competitive launch, whatever. Many things do this. A run up, then a consolidation, then another run up.

This is 100% spot on- re-read it if you are the OP. Honestly, Lilly has been good to me but if I were in your shoes I would look for openings w Novo, or perhaps with one of the newer CGM device companies- Dexcom, Freestyle Libre ( Abbot?) etc.
 




diabetes at lilly is complete garbage. if you are experienced, run. if you are fresh college grad, run.

if you have lilly diabetes listed on your resume no one will hire you.
