Pros

The foundation of why it's enjoyable to work for Alkermes is a great culture of collaboration that is focused on doing everything possible to help patients.

Cons

The only con is the downside a very good thing: rapid growth! We're growing so quickly it's hard to keep up sometimes. Very good problem to have.

Worse experience of my life

Pros

I found that most people there were friendly and the culture was pretty good. The location was a bit difficult based on the time of day.

Cons

Middle management and below is horrible. They treat their people terribly. I have never been treated so poorly in my entire professional career.

Pros

High pay, fulfilling work. You know you are making a difference in patients' lives.

Cons

No support from management--no training, very little interaction with coworkers, no sharing of best practices, and the same goes for managers so bad ones don't get better. Touchpoints is terrible--salespeople have to monitor them constantly or orders slip through the cracks!
