Pros

Novartis salary and benefits are competitive with other companies in the industry. Products across all disease states are high quality offering differentiating features and benefits.

Cons

The sales organization leadership structure is churned too often resulting in changing strategies with each new leadership regime. When sales are strong, the culture is fine. When things turn down, leadership often resorts to micro-management.
