The paradox of working for a good company in bad economic times. - Anonymous employee Novartis Employee Review

Great leaders of the program, Jess and Raf, they still keep in touch with past interns good envrionemnt, had living provided and cahrlie car got very close with other interns (network for life)

Training was long and the mentors shoudlve done it too some of the departments are clicky and some mentors suck and skip through the training

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
