Boehringer Ingelheim Employer Reviews

Team click dynamics horrible, and territory in Detroit dangerous.

Due to recent reorganization, the company is doing it's best to re-align with the other competitors and improving their process and other areas lacking in standardisation.

Since joining BI as a contractor in 2011 I have enjoyed an atmosphere of professionalism and encouragement of free thought and contributions to efforts in solving, developing, and improving upon processes and completing projects. I want to grow my professional career in such an environment that is not afraid of change and welcomes new ideas. Colleagues – more... at BI unite in an effort to grow both professionally and personally. This has been a unique experience and though I have much to learn, still I look forward to the opportunity to continue on my path of growth and development with the BI community. – less

BI started to trim fat from their Research and Development departments a few years ago, but still reluctant to make bold changes within Research. Lots of committed and talented workers, but some expectations are beyond logic.

I enjoy the customer-focus aspect of the hospital sales job.

I enjoy working at BI, my job is interesting and QC chemists really understand the importance of doing the job right.

Great company with many oppurtunites! Great managers, specialized jobs with tremendous growth potentials.

Excellent, have a lot os understanding within the company and lots of supports for new employees.

This is a clean, challenging, enjoyable place to work. Some of the cons is that management can be extremely distant. Often don't get the support you need to do your job.

Everyday was different, depending on where I was working that day. I was never bored with my job, different challenges came up everyday. I learned about pharmaceutical products and disease states and how medication can help patients control their diabetes. Management was great learned a lot about selling and strategy from my manager. Great co-workers – more... had a lot of fun working with them. Hardest part of the job was being able to juggle all the field work plus the office work and not allow it to filter into my family time. Most enjoyable part of the job was calling on physicians and their staff educating them on my products. – less

Good place, but there was no opportunity to phase from contractor to full time, and ultimately got caught in a string of lay offs. Was able to successfully work from home, which was nice. Pay was decent, people are good (for the most part) and there is a sense of community.

Cardiovascular products specifically to C-Suite executives within the hospital market. The company properly allocated resources and ensured teams were motivated and received the best training possible.

Being privately held, Boehringer Ingelheim has a relatively stable working environment. A good company to do science with collaborative employees who are highly committed and professional. Company management operated in a ethical and transparent fashion.

Worst pharma company ever!! Stay away, they are doomed when pradaxa gets pulled from the market!!

Typical day consists of dynamic interactions with all healthcare providers and staff

I really enjoyed working for BI.

BI provides you with great tools to perform with enthusiasm maintaining a great level of excellence and integrity.

Management is very accessible and kind.

Teamwork is key in BI to be successful

The hardest part of the job or most challenging was always manage care coverage.

I was a primary care sales representative and this was my first pharmaceutical job. If they hadn't downsized 30% of their sales force, I would still be there today. In my time at BI, I sold everything they had in their portfolio. I was also given the opportunity to sell to Urologists and Cardiologists. I learned everything I know about primary sales – more... from this company and my manager and co-workers there. I had a great territory, although challenging. I was able to develop wonderful relationships with my customers and still drop by their offices today just to say hello and keep in touch. BI gave me all the tools I needed to be effective and become a great sales person. The hardest part of the job was the intense competition in our product lines. But that was also the best part of the job. You knew that when a physician started writing your product it was because you where able to show him the benefits of the products for his customers over the competition. – less

There is very strong Union and managers cannot handle their subordinates properly due to the Union in Korea affiliate.

I was hired for a position, they changed it once hired. Didnt have a say in what I wanted, left me hanging for 2 weeks and then decided they didnt need me. I was making great money and they really put me in devastation when I couldnt go back to where I was and they werent paying me because I was let go

Good pipeline, ethical values, below average pharma sales salary. Little opportunity for advancement.
