      Pros

      Non, oh sorry nice cafeteria and beautiful grounds and koi fish

      Cons

      Old school Texas mentalities that are pissed off that Novartis acquired them number 1 and if your from the East Coast forget it....there is definitely prejudice with these people who have been in their jobs for way too long. Novartis really needs to go in and clean up all the dead TEXAS wood!

      Pros

      Great money if you work hard and smart. Best 6 figure job for people looking to stay complacent in their role for a long while. Typical pharmaceutical company environment. Most management in the Northeast is solid and do not micromanage.

      Cons

      Company was going through an extensive "women-in-leadership" initiative in 2013. If you were not a woman, you had greatly diminished opportunity to grow in the short term. In addition, there were numerous (and typical) changes under new Novartis ownership which stymied many peoples career growth. Including my own (why I left). There was positive change underway, but too slow for my career goals.
