I can honestly tell you that the absolute worst interview experience of my life was with an Abbvie district manager who came from Allergan. He was awful. His communication was null and void after my 2nd interview. I was merely asking for an update on whether or not I would get the chance to move onto the next round. No response. In the interim, I turned down 3 job offers. I have been so unimpressed with a managers lack of communication! This manager made a very key physician in an important geography very mad when he wrote me a letter of recommendation, which he RARELY does and he then found out that I was not selected. He will be extremely important to the success of all products that are "launched" in his practice! He is very angry, so I really wish the DM luck trying to get that physician to prescribe Abbvie products. This physician is a national KOL, who could have been a huge advocate for Abbvie products, but not now. Abbvie needs to look long and hard at how managers can kill a territory in situations like this. Even the answer, "NO, you will not be advancing" would have been fine, but to not respond at all is the sign of a wimpy and pathetic manager!
Reasons why this post is total bull$hit:
1.) legacy Allergan managers far out perform and exceed legacy AbbVie managers so, he probably just saw you for the annoying rep you would’ve been and passed.
2.) NO physician gives a $hit about a “could be” rep to them; they marginally MIGHT care about a current rep, but not enough to stop prescribing bc the didn’t get a job.
3) IF a physician makes their prescribing choices based on anything along those lines they are terrible doctors and doubtful that they are a national KOL.
4.) 0% chance you had THREE other offers and you are 1000% a moron to have turned anything down waiting for another potential offer. Everyone knows you accept one and if something you wanted more does come through with an offer, you back out of the first and move on with the preferred one.
Now go away chase down a contract job at best.
