If you're really asking this, and you're a serious candidate for the position, then the talent is horrible in your area. No drug like this comes out immediately after PDUFA. It takes many drugs several months to get filtered through GPOs, wholesalers, and pharmacies. You will have weeks on end of meaningless training on how to sell a once a day medication for incontinence.

I interviewed with the flaming douchebag AR in southern California. Did my research on this tool and found out he has been fired from like seven companies in ten years. I knew a few people who worked for him in the past and the reviews were horrid. Interview questions were tired and he spent more time reliving his storied career in pharma and motocross exploits than he did interviewing me. Condescending and arrogant. Hard "NO." Good luck to whoever took the job.

Same here. Plenty of uro experience including being ranked #1 in the region for OAB drug. AR made the drug sound like you were selling a biological. It’s OAB, not rocket science! Told they were moving forward with another candidate only to see the position reposted. Good luck!

The abject desperation by people on this board is truly sad. The product is lame. Leadership were plucked from the layoff trash heap of big pharma. The pay is marginal. If you need the job, take it but for the love of God, have some dignity. If you haven’t received a call, it’s time to move on and there are much better opportunities to be had.

Pay is marginal??? In what world? Pharma is so overpaid it’s ridiculous. Hopefully COVID will demonstrate it's time to get rid of a lot of the fat and downsize. And, I appreciate your great empathy.

The comp package is very average compared to other companies in launch mode. There are other opportunities out there if you don’t land this one.

Excited to be coming on board. We definitely have an up hill battle to launch, but that’s launch. Especially with Covid at its worst yet. Pay is great. Yes, there is absolutely higher paying pharma gigs out there...upwards of $200k base as a rep. I’d also make the argument that find me the plethora of jobs posted with $150k base in your area. Good luck if you find 10 in your city this year, and good luck knocking out the competition for them. There aren’t many gigs above $120 that often.

These posts are killing me. So negative. Has anyone seen the unemployment rate? There are people who have been out of work all year and still unemployed. My experience has been great. The hiring manager is amazing. Kept me updated every step of the way, checked in with me after each interview, and gave me a heads up on things to come.

I received my verbal offer this past Thursday night and verbally accepted it. I don’t know about max base salary for each role. I’ve heard $120,000 most commonly for base. The bonus potential is on top of the base. Bonus potential is $54,000 (uncapped). I’m always realistic about bonus “potential.” However, anything above and beyond base salary is just that...bonus!

You won’t find many jobs in the “real” world outside of pharma with a company car, gas paid, cell phone paid, 80% of health insurance paid, new hire long term incentive of $27,000 that’s vested after 3 years, 3 wks of vacation plus 10 company holidays. Believe me...I spent many many years in pharma. I’ve been in a different industry for the last 2 years by choice, and I am making the choice return to pharma.

I have been super impressed by everyone I’ve specifically interacted with at Urovant. I can’t speak to everyone with the company. The data on this drug is good. Yeah no Medicare Part D coverage for 2021 because the formulary is already set and the drug isn’t even approved yet. But it’s only the 2nd to market in the beta-3 adrenergic drug class with Myrbetriq. Plenty of patients can’t take the anticholinergics because of side effects. And then you must look at the company’s pipeline! Even one doc friend of mine said gene therapy for OAB is exciting and will be a game changer.

If you’re wanting a drug that you don’t have to actually sell, then this may not be the opportunity for you. If you’re making more where you are, then good for you, stay where you are. I know a ton of people who would kill for this opportunity. It’s a crazy world right now and people are struggling financially and emotionally. So to ask questions like what kind of company car you would get just seems so insignificant when most of us have higher car payments to own our personal cars and actually pay for our own gas.

Perspective, people. Perspective.

AR blows everything up to make it and himself seem more important. He is a dick.

Clearly bitter and a former/current Astella rep.

This company loves to jerk people around during interviews. The man I interviewed with (2nd DM) asked the most absurd questions and was trying to mess with me no matter how I answered. Congrats to those who made it thru the process, but am so turned off by these people that I am taking a break from Interviews

Out of curiosity did you interview with the manager out of southern CA?
 
















anonymous said:
I am currently in the interview mix. I few questions:
What is the background check, drug test like?
How many vacation days, personal days?

To answer your question, probably the same as any other pharma company for background check and drug test. Verify employment dates or from previous employer or you provide w2 proof of employment.

I believe 3-4 weeks PTO is what they said.

When you say interview mix are you just starting the process are have you been ghosted by the manager and P1 like most of the people still on this thread? If you have been ghosted I wouldn't worry about.

I personally think that any company that is as disrespectful in the ghosting as this company has been shows you the level of respect they have that will translate over to anyone chosen. Prior behavior and disrespect transfers across all platforms. I fear when the launch is poor as expected, they'll treat their employees in a similar manner and clip away. P1 and Urovant are subpar and ghosting is the norm for subpar companies like this. It is not the norm for high caliber companies.
