I worked at MDCO and it was the weirdest company I have ever worked for. It was more like a cult! I got the hell out of there!!! I'm telling you it was weird!
Lets see, for short term money and maybe a bonus (assuming you can sell that crappy drug) jump ship to a company that hasnt grown shareholder value ever!!! Barely staying relevant and when you look again in a year and you are priced out of the market and folks wonder why all the job hopping lets talk then. If you want to spend your career chasing the next not so best thing and find that rewarding - go for it. Why do you think they are trying to buy folks. If they had anything valuable they wouldn't be an outliar with comp. Look beyond the sizzle, business model? culture? leaderhip record of success? transparency? Investors have voted and not for MDCO.
Me-I prefer to be on the ship of a well run company, a place where I put roots down, feel good about the values and mission and work with a leader. Having been with Cubist for 7 plus years i have learned that management listens, sure there are challenging years. But course corrections are made.
Great short term thinking- wealth occurs over time committing yourself to something you believe in. Jumping from one "hot" thing to the next is like a game of musical chairs. Eventually your the one standing.
There are challenging times for making money and times it comes easier. This is true for any job, in any industry. The opportunity I have in the second 1/2 of the year well above our peer group on an annualized basis. Gorw up bone head!!!
and of course the culture else where would be much better? Ask the folks who went to Durata and then quite already to go to Medicine company about culture. By the way, have you read the job description from the medicine company???? Its very easy to fall into the grass is always greener somewhere else syndrome. Cafe Pharma is filled with those types.
Cubist is going through growing pains and they will get ironed out but our values are sound, nobody wakes up in the morning thinking "how can I mess with a CBM's today". Intentions are good and as a leader in its space has an amazing future, despite current challnges. Success isn't a straight line up.
As someone who has been at Cubist for a while I know that they will course correct when needed as that has been the history.
