Interviewing

Quote






Stay away from Keryx, everyone I know is trying to get out, GM has no idea what he is doing as we are burning through money with little sales to back hiring an additional 30 reps. If you are unemployed I can understand, think of what your resume will look like in 6 months when your unemployed again.
 






I agree. Unless you are unemployed, run to the hills. This company will be underwater in the very near future, The drug is good but it will be at least a year before any data for CKD is published and even then, the indication will be after that. The doctors will throw you a script or 2 just help you out but the gold standard of Renvela will not go away. Sanofi has reps who either have been there since Genzyme or have relationships solid
 












things will get much worse once the realignment occurs. corporate better have a good retention plan in place. performing reps are feeling burned by management not allowing any field input into the realignment decisions or any other decisions. every thing is done by outside vendors. the decision making process in boston is a complete joke. it's no surprise that the launch is a disaster and many people have left. unless you're unemployed, i would suggest staying far away.

So here's a thought: While on my phone screen interview, I inquired about base. Was told they usually give 5-8% promo increase to join. So don't tell them your current base is 89K so they'll offer $95K. Tell them your base is $125K so they'll have to offer $135K. Make them eat their own words.
 






Brilliant until they look at your paystub. And yes you will be asked for a paystub.

Who's buying the sh*t they are spewing? Fireside chat and GTS were a complete joke and a waste of our time. We were told they would be more tranparent but we haven't heard anything since leaving that sh*t hole in Vegas. Hiring people from the outside without renal experience will once again prove that management does not have a clue. Once these empty suits figure things out all of our cash will be burned. More people will leave as Relypsa and ZS continue to hire.

During your interview ask why turnover is so high and morale is so low? Ask why FSDs and HR are reaching out to employees after they quit and then turning around saying the company didn't need them? Ask why reimbursement is so slow that reps pay their expense reports out of their own pocket to avoid late fees? Share the responses because we can't get answers to these questions.
 


















Anybody else get the late notice email from AMEX today? Submitted an expense report 4 weeks ago. Still no reimbursement. Report was approved while in Vegas 2 weeks ago. Getting old paying 3k - 4k a month out of pocket every month. Can't wait to get out.

Top talent my ass, TC. Maybe last year. No chance good people are interviewing now. Scrub talent looking for more money. GM flat out lied at NSM. How many more will lose their jobs due weak leadership

Music to my ears. I thought this day would never come. Your negativity has been poisoning the well all year long. Best of luck at Relypsa. You thought a simple warning on Auryxia was a hard sell. Try a black box warning on a mediocre product.

At least it is not another "me too" drug. This drug will do fine. The warning is just about taking the drug not any effect it can have on the patient. Dr.s I know are excited about this as what other options do they have. Kaexelate will probably be gone soon
