Pros

The environment at Novartis is good. Most employees are friendly and easy to work with. Most employees in higher positions were very approachable.

Cons

Mostly contractors doing the work with very few opportunities to advance. There are a few members in the department who are very manipulative and it is very hard to work with management to resolve some of the major issues.
