      Novartis reviews

      Novartis is okay if you're into big pharma; better than Genentech. - CRA Novartis Employee Review

      Pros

      The location was great before they moved the jobs to New Jersey. Employees are expected to know the science whether you're in research or not (this is good). They are cutting edge on some projects.

      Cons

      Inflexible management. Poor pay. Paternalistic attitudes. Authoritarian. A little bit siloed but not bad. They don't expect enough from their employees and so they don't get anything more than government work.

      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.
