Why is everyone leaving iRhythm?

Quote
The leader of the sales team is a strong leader and knows his business, but there is this: 80% of them are white males, 95% of RSDs and AVPs are male, maybe 18% white females are among the sales staff and 99.9% of the sales staff are straight and this is a San Francisco based company! That said, there are some male sales leaders of color, but the EVP of sales is ultimately responsible for this (non) diversity.

The current Marketing and CX leader is a narcissistic jerk who was fired from AliveCor and is now hiring all his friends and agencies to help him out at iRhythm. So many people in Marketing have left or have recently been let go: the latest headcount reduced are a black, a brown and a gay. Very interesting ...but, maybe not considering the current frat boy in charge.

The HR Exec is rumored to be the former HR admin, and although there are 1 or 2 more females on the Executive Team, they all sat in the back row of our latest Global Sales Meeting for the "ask the exec" portion of the sales meeting. This is how the women of the Exec team are thought of obviously ...and they didn't get to answer many questions from that back row...

It's a 'boys club' at the C-level, the sales level and the marketing level.

It should be mentioned that the R&D department is approx 50% women, very diverse in all ways, full of super-smart people, and run by the smartest and most actualized leader of the Exec team.

The above isn't that unusual for med-tech companies in the Bay Area to be honest, but when I first came onboard at iRhythm I was more hopeful. I'm out as soon as I find my next opportunity ...

Older management is clueless and level of micromanagement and conference calls is annoyingly useless and the newer managers are now realizing that what they signed up for isn't what they thought. Nobody is making their number therefore no money. The commercial contracts are taking longer to acquire and asking a physician to prescribe a "holter" that usually costs $0 for the patient, now will cost up to $995 is a tough sale for both the reps to the practices and physicians to their patients. The clinical data does not back the messaging and the competitors are coming fast and furious. Many managers and reps fall flat on their faces in front of the client spewing the company messaging. Complete bs sale and company.

I've been here just over a year now, even I know that comment is garbage. You want annoying conference calls and micromanagement try Entellus. This is the normal weekly calls. $0 Holter, $995 zio....what?? it's not even worth a reply. Did you flunk training?

Most unethical company in the industry! The CEO will be leaving soon and the COO is so misguided by a few EVPs, we had hope he would make changes however, he is making all the wrong ones by keeping his EVP of sales. RSDs are so unhappy it is obvious to us. It has been a great run. People should get out while they can....I hear some pending lawsuits are coming soon. Maybe the right changes will follow! It’s unfortunate great product and service.

I haven't seen unethical yet to be honest. This entire space is dirty and i was sold in part on the ethics of the company to do the right things. So far, I've found this to be true. I don't know the COO but the EVP's I have spoken with have all be helpful and responsive.

Don't give JS so much publicity. She relishes in being the villain, like Omorosa. She craves the attention and thinks she has so much "power" when inside, she's just a pathetic insecure and unattractive loser who LOVES to put others down to make herself seem relevant.

worked for JS for going on 2 years now. Strange comment here. Never seen or heard her putting anyone down. Always there when i need help. Pretty harsh....but of course, you are hidden and bitter. If you feel this way about anyone or any company, probably time to leave.

EVP of sales and EVP of marketing both play favoritism. You can clearly see the bromance at all times. They might be bros to each other but to the world they are D & D - Dumb & Dumber together.

hmmm, i have a pretty good amount of time with both over short spans of time. I don't see dumb or favoritism....maybe i'm missing something.

Thank you for sharing this concern. We are proud of the fact 35% of the RSD's are strong women leaders. Over 50% of TM's are women. We are working hard to increase those numbers.
 






The main KK is sort of decent; the other K K actually made a lot of good changes when he arrived a year ago, but has also turned out to be the same as the other c-level leaders; even though he is not white. He talks about 'transparency' at all of our quarterly meetings, yet the cross functional relationships at iRhythm have only gotten worse since he's arrived.

Yes, that is doable. A lot of depends on your territory you'd be taking over... why did the last rep leave? Also, nobody has their quotas yet, and if there are any changes to the comp plan, so who knows.

You should run from this toxic place several of us are leaving in Jan. This year over 100 TMs already left on their own including PClub winners. Lots of EEOC lawsuits and we can’t buy stock until February because of mid projections. Reach out to any of the former TMs you can find many of them on LinkedIn. Worse executive sales management in the industry. They are the ones trolling this site trying to save face. The guarantee is 6 months after that plan to live off your base salary.

No truer words have been spoken. She is so insecure about her homely appearance she tries to compensate by trying desperately to be relevant . . . by acting all "Omorosa" (perfect analogy) to get attention. Rather have bad attention than no attention.

JS is one of the worst people I have ever worked with. Horrible character and no talent or business sense whatsoever.
 






I have an interview here. But see on LinkedIn many are leaving. Is this place still toxic? It’s seems to have high turnover. I know of some of reps who I would not hire, including one of RSDs. Any insights?
