Oncology division

I have two words for this company:

MARKET ADJUSTMENTS

If you want to retain people, you need to adjust salaries to reflect the market. Oncology reps make, on average, between $185k-215 base with much higher bonus structure. If you want people to stay make it less tempting to leave.


That’s actually the low end of average…
 
















































Eisai Oncology is good for one thing and one thing only...getting oncology experience so you can leave for a real oncology company in a few years. For that I thank them...past that is it a joke.
 












Think about it this way...Eisai is large multinational company with two very mediocre oncology products. Small biotech startups have more and do more in revenue than Eisai Oncology.

Eisai gets a significant portion of its revenue from vitamin supplements (Chocolate BB) and generics in Japan/Asia. The company’s really not capable of much more than that.
