Pros

The company pays very well, and you might have a good experience depending on your team. It also seems to be a good company for finding a work/family balance and many people stick around for decades. The company executives also seem like great people.

Cons

A Novartis experience will be different for everyone because it's a massive company, but I recommend looking elsewhere. Overall, I had a nice team of little fish in our dated office, but I also had spineless and backward-minded (micro) management that was unsupportive and uncommunicative when it mattered.
