Pros

Great technology, physicians are fascinated. Makes for great conversations. Base is ok but bonus structure is a pod. Territories are too small in many cases for such a narrow approved indication.

Cons

Unstable future for employees. Over 1/2 of the territories are operating at a negative growth pattern. Sales force expanded too quickly.

Pros

Innovative science with tremendous potential Good people for the most part Descent benefits for a private start up Company has the potential to hit a home run Growing pains are typical of a small private start up company

Cons

Hard work is not always recognized unless you're in a management position CEO is invisible to the people; comes across elitist and arrogant I agree with the comment on here about executive backbiting. Most executives behave like children and are extremely immature. Commercial officer is inappropriate and behaves like a frat boy You are expected to work around the clock and at least 55-70 hrs per week Very little equity sharing; no 401K match Humility is not a strong suit at this company

Pros

You help patients that are really sick Lots of good people who work here You get a paycheck Not much more to say

Cons

Executive management team - Not very experienced team. Most of them have their heads in the sand. COO is the only humble leader. The rest of the team is driven by power, control, ego and self promotion No equity sharing - They don't give much stock. The company sells this bull crap line about multiplier/ dilution etc. Don't listen. They just don't want to give non-executive employees shares Commercial team runs the show. Especially the chief officer. He's clueless. No one on his team likes him. Someone buy him a clue please. He's met me 3 times and still asks my name each time. I guess us minions are not worthy of his presence. CEO can't string 2 motivational sentences together. Not sure how he got the job.
