Pros

The benefit package and salaries are good.

Cons

This is not a family friendly environment; expect to work 10+ hours a day and get nothing done. Managers have no idea how to manage, organize, or help their employees. There is no desire to get with the times and use technology; wanting to make changes can get you fired. What little technology they do have they don't even know how to use right. 1 good FDA GMP audit could cause a lot of problems for this place.

Pros

Change management is championed. Great Quality Systems processes. Great health care benefit package. Opportunities for international assignments with the mother company; Novartis.

Cons

Sandoz leadership is like Nero fiddling whilst Rome burns. Exceptionally high turnover rate with no true drive to root cause by site leadership. Employees are even opting to resign even though they do not have a job waiting for them on the other side of the door.

Pros

Excellent compensation and quality of their products.

Cons

Upper management doesn't know how to run generics as they come from branded business. Upper management set unrealistic expectations and they don't have the courage to accept their mistakes. Instead, they blame the people below for the poor performance that is the result of not listening in the first place.
