Pros

Most folks at HQ are good to work with. Basic collaboration and willingness to get the job done among bench-level folks. Salaries and benefits quite competitive.

Cons

Leadership is composed of men... only a handful of females in upper management, and even then, they report to men... Old boys network who look to make themselves richer while ignoring those that have to put in the hours and get the job done. No pipeline at all, only me-too products with no benefits over existing products. Back-stabbing and bullying from certain heads of department make the culture intimidating to promote any collaborative discussions and decision making in a team setting. Especially if you're an intelligent female who has succeeded elsewhere and are trying to implement your successes here. Do not follow their procedures or have systems that are robust. Lazy heads of departments who just want to collect a pay check.

Pros

Great CEO and VP of Sales that helped out the reps a lot.

Cons

CEO got voted out by a lame investment company that didn't know anything about pharma and ruined a good thing.

Pros

Honestly, the only reason I stayed so long was because I liked some of my coworkers -- though definitely not all of them.

Cons

Depomed is an awful company to have worked for. Though, they say you learn more from bad experiences than good - let's just say I learned A LOT! Executive staff is all male and white and they don't like listening to anyone who isn't part of the exec team. I hardly ever got to actually do my job because we had too many people in the department trying to do something that I never got to learn my own job! You ask for help and no one wants to help you until you've failed and then it's not to actually help because they have your best interest in mind but because they want to rub your face in it like a dog. If you're passionate about learning more and getting good experiences DO NOT work at Depomed!
