Pros

Financially well managed and weathering the patent cliff better than most. Novartis has also avoided large layoffs in their scientific areas.

Cons

Not enough organic promotions for senior management. Novartis should give opportunities to mid level managers to be promoted to higher position.

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
