Pros

401k, bonuses, stocks, paid time off is generous.

Cons

Too many reorgs in a short period of time. lots of bureaucracy, culture to promote/recognize "favorites". Culture has changed in a negative way in recent past. Lots of talk about people empowerment but not a lot of action behind it. Many tenured associates leaving after decade plus years of time at Novartis

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

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.
