Sage Therapeutics

It’s an online excercise with made up scenarios on doctors, access and accounts! You complete the case study prior, then they ask you questions as to why you chose the answers you did as part of your panel interview, pretty lame! They also ask you to prepare an account plan to present at the panel interview as well! Prepare to interview for 2- 2 1/2 hours hearing how truly great Sage is!

Genius. Great way for lazy M&A and Management to get ideas!

This is new (direction less) pharma with a great culture but yet asking experienced reps for direction in the guise of an interview exercise. Sage, come on. Thought you were different . I know you wanted to be but so did kaleo and they pulled awesome reps all over the country but it was all smoke and mirrors when patient care went out the window and profit won. I so hope sage is different but so far the model is showing otherwise
 








They need to pay for talent this company is a big risk! Have they even determined bonus? I think they are mistaken to think reps will stay or go Thur with hiring process is nothing is figured out they don’t have a drug yet. How do you take a position with the unknown what if PPD drug is extremely niched and can only be infused in hospital setting. Ask the questions. Home infusion? Only 142 patients in study seriously!

I’ve been intrigued by Sage and watching their initial launch protocol (mainly for stock reasons). At this point, this seems like a clown show.

It is incredible that Sage did not realize their studies had to be done administered in the same environment that they are wanting to target for drug admin. Also, the sample size of the studies are well below sub-par.

IMO, the oral should have been launched first.

This company is not looking too bright. It will be an incredibly tough sell when the physicians/patients don’t have access to samples to see if the treatment is tolerable. I’ll continue to track Sage but things aren’t looking great at the moment.
Too much “window dressing” and selling of the Sage culture. The bottom line will be selling this very expensive therapy that has no strong scientific backing against a flooded generic marketplace.

And when you speak it, speak it well! Too consumed with selling their culture!

I agree. All I hear is culture this and culture that.

Two things:

1. This company is beginning to come across as “desperate” with the “this is Sage” campaign and the culture hoopla. They are underpaying for one of the biggest launch challenges that I can recall.

2. The launch has become a circus. Resulting in another reason for the Sage/Culture overkill.

If this therapy was legit, it would do all of the talking. The “n” in the studies will be a gigantic hurdle in addition to many other obstacles.

The oral should have launched first.
 




I learned through the process that they expected the OB/GYN's to do the prescribing for this drug. Are they serious? The last thing OB's will do is get involved in making the call or getting involved in a very expensive therapy way outside their area of expertise. Knowing this specialty well, they won't want to touch the reimbursement process either. Are they completely clueless? That completely scared me off this job/company.
 








their website says $1,000 every 2 years for technology...I'm assuming that means a cell phone allowance. What do you mean IPad? Will we have to pay for our own IPads to work with? what type of car did the KAMS get? I saw the hiring managers car, and it was a very small ford
