Pros

Able to build a strong network within the life sciences (pharmaceutical, biotech, etc) industry. Able to take on a variety of tasks not traditionally done by an sales professional (product development, recruitment. etc).

Cons

Disorganized onboarding and training (absent). Expectation to be available 24/7 and work extremely long hours. Expectation to take on a variety of jobs such as event management, product design, recruitment, etc. No SDR support, so the role is pure 100% prospecting your own deals. Lack of support from leadership on mission critical decisions.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Let me start by saying that I am sorry to hear that your experience working at LARVOL left you feeling disappointed Thank you for highlighting the things you enjoyed while working here, it is great hear that you were able to build a strong network within life sciences industry while working here. and were able to take on and learn skills outside of your job description. The points you have shared offer some great insight, so thank you for bringing them to the forefront. We are aware that the start-up road isn’t always easy, as we grow we expect bumps in the road and our hope is that even with those bumps we are able to rally our teams to continue building strong products and an awesome culture. Our Sales roles require hunter mentality and strong prospecting skills. Our job ads and interview process highlight this requirement. I am sorry if you didn’t have a full understanding of this coming into the role. We are always working on trying to be better, we have a number of new projects in place at the moment to help us do just that. We’re sorry this was not a fit and hope you’ve now found a position where you can flourish and utilize your unique skills and abilities. Wishing you every success in your next steps - thank you for being a part of the LARVOL history.

Worse Than Expected

Pros

Get to travel and meet people in the industry On paper, the compensation structure was good, uncapped. - Market isn't overly saturated and lots of opportunities to prospect

Cons

Rely on the testimonials of other reviewers here... The CEO is steering this company towards failure. The turnover rate within the sales team is excessively high. Expectations and targets are arbitrarily set without any logical reasoning. The CEO frequently contacts you during weekends, citing the company as a "start-up," despite its 18-year existence. While I understand the need for oversight, there is a distinct lack of trust. He employs fear tactics and regularly makes threats of termination or replacement if you don't comply. Additionally, the product is severely outdated. Despite the CEO's constant claims of superiority, he lacks awareness regarding the capabilities of other market products. Everyone in the company treads carefully to avoid offending or questioning the CEO's ego-driven and unpredictable behavior. Stay far away and do not let the base salary entice you!
