Pros
They treat employees at independent contractors and don't micro manage them. They are a great company to work for if you dont want to be on a team of 8 reps calling on the same docs. I hated having a huge POD at another pharma co and really liked that when selling lantus i only overlapped with a hosptial rep. As long as you do well you are rewarded. They didnt come down on you if you didnt report great notes, it really ws a matter of killing your numbers. At other firms, it was like "call on your 10 per dya and we won't have an issue"
Cons
The promotion policies are not transparent. When I was up for promotion, I had done very well in my territory in growing a territory that was already at the highest share. I had great experience both at Sanofi with management activities as well as at other firms. I tried really hard to intervieew for positions but was told I need 3 years for a position and I had 2.5 years. By the time I would have started, I would have had the 3 years. It was a dumb line to draw in the sand. Later I found out they had bent these rules previously.
