Oncology Pay New Positions

[Anonymous]

Managers are real world about needing oncology experience! Guy in west was from cystic fibrosis and clueless so if he doesn't hire oncology he is screwed! Question is can he afford me!

Only if you want 120K or less dude.

No good oncology company would start up an oncology division without putting in experienced oncology reps. It would be a disaster to hire people with no oncology or hematology experience. The business in oncology/hematology is entirely different then HIV, HEP C, CF, Cardiology. So that tells me that you must have some experience in oncology leadership if they recognize you can't hire a bunch of people with no hematology experience.

Oh please. Do you need a PhD in ordering efficacious catering for hematology?

Hey Dr. Oncology you clearly suck! If you are so good you would be intelligent enough to realize idealalisib is a dog now that ibrutinib has monotherapy! Good luck with that and Gild sounds like a very unhappy culture when a manager says in an interview "we expect a lot family is not an excuse!"

I couldn't agree more, Gilead is use to selling best in class where shithead managers don't matter to the bottom line! Idealalisib is far from best in class so this will be a failure, especially when management team doesn't even know the key opinion leaders in their area.

Correct.... The Oncology division at Teva/Cephalon has been destroyed by primary care. A primary care Western Area Manager acting AM for Onc)is really destroying that half of their company. There are whole regions over there at Cephalon(teva) who have reps who have no clue of what they are doing. The primary care managers favor their primary care background reps because they can control them, the same for the AM... it is a completely dysfunctional situation.... They are utilizing DSA on their i-pads for selling... a complete joke.... There are some very good reps over there(Oncology- from the early Treanda days) but a lot of reps who have 2 yrs or less of Oncology experience that have never been trained in Lymphoma. The Gilead situation will be better because it will be run by Oncology people but the more non-Oncology people who are let in, the worse... especially considering the competition.

Untrue again - Oncology bonus will mirror the rest of the company divisions. The difference is that we need to hire the majority of people with alot of experience. That will dictate higher base pay naturally.

When I interviewed for the PCYC job I noticed a lot of really good people from Millennium and Cephalon. The folks who launched Treanda really know the market and the science. There is a big guy they have in LA and another in Seattle who are excellent . The cephalon manager in Chicago is really good and I've heard the one out of Kansas city is also excellent. They had an excellent rep in OK, not sure he is still there. Incyte is a much better gig than this one.
