Pros

Good pipeline, well-known company, good "starting point" for pharma. Novartis teaches you fundamental sales skills you need to learn and sell.

Cons

Cardiovascular portfolio puts teammates in competition with one another. Diovan going off patent in 2012- because of this there is a lull in the pipeline, it will pick up again in 2013 and beyond.

Pros

Perks such as bonuses and company car.

Cons

You're just a number in a large global behemoth such as Novartis. Your immediate manager has too much control over your fate/success with the company. Sabotage is a simple endeavor in this type of environment.
