LEO pharma

Quote






Mid 70's base for some and less for less experience. Car no idea. Bonus 25k. Start date Jan. 3. NJ for one week and then a national meeting the following week. Some Offers have been sent out. Interviewing still going on as well. One and done format. Has anyone accepted the offer? Interesting opportunity but not sure if its worth leaving a current gig for insight?
 






LEO derm group has a great future with lots of innovative stuff in the pipeline and actively looking at current drugs for sale on the market, so long term growth is key with this company. Short term can appear rough with low compensation, mediocre benefits, Chevy Malibu's (itty bitty crackerbox vehicles...the lamest company cars in the industry), and the recent hiring of very inexperienced reps that have absolutely no relationships with the dermatology community (which will cause the companies realized sales to grow much, much more slowly than if they had made a better and wiser investment in their new sales force). That being said, if you get into LEO and stick it out for the long haul, I believe you will be glad you did. Bottom line: if you want a pharmaceutical job with a company you would like to have a long term career with, then LEO is the place to be. If you want quick big bucks, and what ever other myths you think the pharmaceutical industry provides, which it never really does, than keep interviewing and move on.

LEO has a really bad Human Resources Department. Dig into these incompetent souls.
The VP os Sales is a deralect from Warner Chilcott (see their board).

This will go down as the worst run companies ever in the business.
 






A year ago, the company had 4 people employed at home office USA. Today it is up to maybe 30. They just put the HR department together. Give it a break. Sounds like if you were in charge, everyone would be catching hell from you for not being perfect from day one. Man, what crap it would be to work for a company run by you. When you have one finger pointing "incompetence" at someone, you have three pointing right back at you.

As for poorly run company, once the Danes at world HQ see the results (i.e. low sales growth) caused by the recent poor decisions made regarding the hiring and compensating of the sales team (not to mention the plethora of way, way too many reps handling one brand), adjustments will be made. The company has a 400 year history. It will not come crumbling down, because of one VP in New Jersey.
 






Good company or not, what a stupid fucking name! LEO Pharma? Are you joking? I couldn't walk around with a business card that said Leo Pharma, i'd feel like a total loser.

First, the name is absolutely idiotic. Second, I would never consider even putting in my resume for this company much less go interview and waste my time. For some, believe it or not, this would be a huge step backwards. Have fun sport, and let us know when you finally make it to the big leagues!
 






I heard Leo Derm was doing all their hiring through Quintiles, and reps get car allowance. There is a promise that Leo will absorb the sales force and distribute company cars but they are launching another sales sleeve and that may take resources from the derm. Salaries in derm $50k-65k based on experience, they will be Quintiles jobs
