Too much of a risk for Alzheimers Drug





The candidates moving forward receive calls from recruiters every 2 weeks for updates during the covid-19 quarantine. I’ve received 3 calls so far and was told that will continie throughout the quarantine. No routine calls from recruiter means a candidate has not been selected to move on. Well there is the one lunetic poster who claims he’s interviewing on Monday. Lmfao!

Thanks
 




This initial significant delay has to do with the hiring process/COVID. The recruiter is not able to tell us when they will actually move forward on the hiring because COVID has drastically slowed down the timeline for approval (if this drug gets approval). My sources say approval is now doubtful, and will not be selling drug until 2021.

Ah vintage fake news tactic. Throw in a truth and back fill it with BS. Obviously everybody on the planet knows Covid-19 has delayed the hiring process. However, the “my sourcess” part that you slipped in on the back end is fake news!
 




i was interested early, but did a lot of research and just don’t feel this drugs going to be approved. I still wanted to ask anonymous question on here though even though I have an interview on Monday with hiring manager.

Please do share how your interview with the hiring Mgr went TODAY (Monday)??? Lmfao

I was offered the job, but with uncertain timing on if/when this drug will launch and Biogen’s reputation as quick to lay off at the slightest sign of adversity, I decided to turn down the offer. I will continue to sell to Primary Care offices at a stable, big pharmaceutical company not known to lay people off. Thanks for asking.

Ok spill..... what salary was offered? How much vacation offered? What is target bonus? Did they offer a Volvo car? How much 401K match?

“Biogen’s Alzheimer’s Drug delayed by pandemic- offers very, very small hope”

You had been warned for months by me right here.....

what’s crazier is the amount of unmotivated MS sales people so desperate that they’ll leave their cush jobs and take the biggest risk of their lives for a medication that does nothing. When will people learn. Never I guess

The MS people DON’T HAVE the right kind of experience for this drug so we DON’T want you over here anyway. If you HAD the right kind of experience you would not be saying the drug doesn’t provide benefit. Go back to your Cush division and stay there.
 












But I’m an awesome rep. Biogen keeps pursuing me and I turned down a 200k offer yesterday on my face 2 face interview with hiring Mgr.
After today’s headline it looks as though Biogen is no longer pursuing anyone. As a matter of fact, it looks as though they are going to have some ‘splaining to do to those they have been talking too.
 




I made it to the final phase, however the recruiter communicated that the process has been “severely delayed”. No other information. Based on additional research, I am definitely passing on this opportunity in the rare event it is approved and have already let the recruiter know my intentions. There are more stable positions out there. Good luck all
 




Stable positions? This quarantine with Covid-19 does not look like it’s ending anytime soon. Pharma industry playing nice for now without cuts but after 1-2 more months, entire industry will become a blood bath. The days of the gravy train Cush pharma reps who don’t really sell anything are about done! It won’t matter, Biogen, Amgen, Gilead, JnJ, Genentech, Sanofi...... whoever..... gig is up!

not true with regard to certain parts of the country-my friend just got hired for a position and accepted offer.

Yep - all of them are going to fold the sales forces and cut everyone (besides those that don’t and take a ton of business from the competitors). Only folks in jeopardy are those jumping on this fraud of an Alzheimer’s drug.
