Novartis has an excellent base salary potential. There are many different specialties and an excellent pipeline in specialty meds. Overall good experience.

Cons

Limited pipeline in the primary care division led to several reorganizations. Bonuses were not paid out at the right time occasionally and goals not set timely.
