      Bureaucrazy on Steroids

      Regional sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - stable - good benefits - lots of lateral and upward mobility, but a lot of it is due to turnover

      Cons

      - extremely poor customer service - overweight, bureaucratic structure - legal & HR impose in every minute detail of your job - socialized in a sense that top performers don’t get rewarded. Bottom performers get a pass - entirely too much emphasis on admin and not enough emphasis on what can make the business successful - highly political - fearful and surreptitious culture - “snitch” culture to get ahead

      Highly matrixed, disorganized, turnovers

      Marketing executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Important products to improve lives of patients and help clinicians - CMO is growing our marketing capabilities and has a great classical marketing background - Good career opportunities to advance - Benefits

      Cons

      - Matrix and process-heavy, consensus is needed by everyone and their cousin so you have no autonomy when it comes to projects, unnecessary red tape - Analysis paralysis - Teams and culture are very formal/corporate stiff and everyone is in it for themselves - expect no support other than ones that help your coworkers' individual goals - No onboarding process... and interview process was clunky with little communication (all the HR contacts had left the company) - Different acquisitions have left cluttered processes - Little foundational knowledge of marketing among many team members - more product and general management heavy
