      Glorious past , turbulent present, sinking future

      Pros

      compensation is good , in fact too good for most levels which makes them stick even though future is uncertain. Products in some segments are still good.

      Cons

      Declining performance has brought the sword on head of all right from the top at junior most level . Novartis is also looking to exit and given the high valuation at which it was bought from Nestle, it is going to be tough to get a good deal with the current level of performance

      Great workplace, great benefits

      Pros

      You will make an impact from day 1. Great site to get your foot in the door and move on to other parts of the organization either within the site or across the country to a larger city. The site prints money.

      Cons

      You will need to be proactive for your career development. The city has very little going for it and average tenure for early professionals is 2-3 years. A number of manufacturing techniques are antiquated but work just fine. There is a divide between the departments.
