    Head Office
    Jul 2025
    All Sydney NSW3 to 4 years in the role, former employee
    Wonderful company that's continuing to grow and develop in the right direction.
    The good thingsWarm and inviting office - I won't use the word 'family' because in the current climate, it's linked with red flags, but at Boehringer, people are open and willing to collaborate and make impactful decisions. Onboarding is positive and seemless, and there's a reason why Boehringer has a fantastic reputation for hiring new rookies to commercial roles, as they are trained extensively but with the necessary and relevant practical skills for them to be excellent in-field.
    The challengesSome departments can be challenging to break into if you're looking to expand your skills as not a lot of open positions in head office. Some departments have lack of career progression due to regional and global alignment.

    Great people, encouraged to bring new ideas and try them out.
    The good thingsHas a strong innovation pipeline so it's changing how it does things, getting bolder and more confident with telling their story. It's fully independent, privately owned. Not slaves of the stock market.
    The challengesSometimes too collaborative which can slow decision making.

    The good thingsA good sales training for rookies but don't stay for too long. Management is out of touch and create a toxic workplace.

    Treating experienced HSRs like rookies, and micromanaging them is an insult to the person and their long-standing relationships.
    The good thingsThe perks were great: being able to book own accommodation & claim per diem; purchase of upgraded devices; meeting locations
    The challengesManagement was a NIGHTMARE!

    Sustainable careers, good package, great people!
    The good thingsFantastic for those who appreciates the true meaning of family values within a professional corporate environment. Realistic opportunity to learn and develop. If you expect to be promoted every year, look elsewhere, learning and development is not about chasing titles. If you are seeking long, successful tenures, this is the place to be!
    The challengesSometimes management might not react quickly enough to implement change. The good thing is they acknowledge this and are receptive to the ideas. Slowly but surely.
