Pros

The pay is really good compared to others in the industry. Also Novartis provides alot of resources for learning more about the industry, and the different positions available. Very flexible in cross-training there employees and providing opportunities to work in other departments if wanted.

Cons

Extremely competitive work environment, with raises and promotions seemly given out on an arbitrary basis. Hard work is sometimes not appreciated or looked at by managers, but overall if seen persistently improving and providing innovation a promotion will eventually occur.
