Novartis is big pharma. It's a decent place to work, very conservative environment with little flexibility - Anonymous employee Novartis Employee Review

Pros

It seems to have a pretty decent pipeline leaning much more to specialty drugs leaning away from primary care type drugs. They have great benefits and generally seem to try to do the right thing. Very good with it's charitable work.

Cons

The lawyers seem to really restrict your ability to sell. Not that we want to sell off label or do anything close to questionable, they are just way over the top.
