Pros

They will (and want) to hire account executives with zero oncology experience. This allows people to break into oncology. They will train you well. Benefits are great. Great work life balance. The mission is good- and people believe in it. The testing is absolutely best in class. This is a great place for someone looking to jumpstart a lab sales/oncology career.

Cons

Sadly, if you stay for an extended period of time you will find that Myriad pays low salaries compared to rest of industry. This used to be made up for by consistently doubling (or close to doubling) salary in commission, however that is essentially impossible now due to changes in compensation structure, contracting issues and market saturation. Leadership is completely oblivious to the mass exodus that has happened in the oncology sales force. Either oblivious or they don't care, as most experienced AEs are replaced by new folks with zero genetics or oncology experience. Leadership arrogantly ignores the current reality of the marketplace. Unrealistic goals, sketchy compensation no longer based of actual sales. Sadly, this is no longer the same place it was years ago.

Great technology & valuable product, truly can save lives.

Cons

Myriad is having challenges adapting to a competitive landscape since they lost their patents...losing battles with managed care contracts.

Two years after 12 companies have offered similar testing, Myriad remains in-network with 97% of insured lives nationwide. Competitively, Myriad has maintained over 95% market share with physicians in 24 months of competition, unheard of in pharmaceuticals after patent expiration.

Pros

Paid the bills. Most of the other techs were awesome

Cons

Very very high turnover. Management actively pushed senior techs out to keep costs down. Training was minimal and mistakes harshly punished. Overhead upper management constantly refer to techs as monkeys
