Superb, best-in-class talent pipeline with wide latitude for career growth - Associate Director Novartis Employee Review

Not too process-oriented, certain favors given to consultants with McKinsey or BCG background (rumors only which can be disconcerting sometimes); on-boarding not too great that most associates are left to figure out the process and people by themselves; promotion can be highly politicized that you need to have the right connections to be considered.
