Great Product, poor Execution!

Pros

The product is amazing and speaks for itself. They do have a sensitive temperature on company moral. Working to attract good talent (see below).

Cons

Pay is far too low for the amount of work that the field actually does. Infrastructure is not in place to handle the ordering of CG. Faxes aren't received and there is no way to know as a rep or the office when tests aren't ordered. The field is held accountable for a quota but when inside processing doesn't do their job or infrastructure is inadequate field is the one who suffers.

Pros

You will get excellent pay and benefits for working at Exact Sciences. Due to the nature of the product the company sells, it can be a very rewarding feeling to work there. The company is striving to make its name in the healthcare field with an excellent product.

Cons

The company struggles with communication changes to procedures and processes. Many of the managers and supervisors are ill experienced and struggle with implementing direction of the company and maintain a happy, positive atmosphere. While everyone wants to work in a place like Google, culture and atmosphere come from experienced, good managers and supervisors. Simply because someone fit the position in the beginning doesn't mean they can continue to meet the demands of the job nor are they a good fit for the company.

Pros

Cologuard is an exciting product to sell, and had the potential to change the way men and women get screened for colorectal cancer. Exact Sciences has a robust pipeline.

Cons

They have over-promised and under-delivered to investors and sales force. Grew sales force too fast and made many knee-jerk reaction type decisions. This resulted in many representatives leaving the company.
