Pros
Most of the people who work here are genuinely concerned that patients get the best medicine technology and science have to offer. Their compensation package is competitive, healthcare benefits are comprehensive and there are fabulous retirement planning opportunities.
Cons
Rapid change, and high level/mid level leadership are leaving the organization which is concerning. The vivitrol rollout to the CNS team was chaotic. It interrupted momentum for TBM’s, especially the 50 new people hired in the last few months. The Hospital Business leader is atrocious and disrespectful of anyone he perceives to be ‘beneath’ him. He has no CNS experience coming into his role with Alkermes and it is painfully evident. His disregard for respect and collaboration have rubbed off on the people he hires who are equally difficult to work with. It’s unfortunate because I’ve seen collaborative relationships thrive between hospital/account reps and their territory manager counterparts at other companies, and everyone wins when it’s working, especially patients!
