Pros

None what so ever

Cons

if the face fits your fine if not then your life is a misery, top down management is a complete farce. my experience of working here was terrible. They say one thing to your face and another on emails and in meeting rooms. not a transparent environment at all! I have never known such a dishonest company. The 'senior management team' are mere puppets and pretty much read from a script from the owner, thinking about it, its very similar to a chicken farm. None of the 'recruiters' in there are actually recruiters but more resourcers. A company full of mediocre resourcers who always underperform but still get rewarded. This is because they don't leave. Navartis do not take very kindly to people leaving and will always make their life a misery for leaving and will try their very best to stop them from succeeding. highly unprofessional and do not recommend for anyone to work here. highly toxic place and avoid like the plague! last point, the reviews on here are from current employees who are 'advised' to leave good reviews to out balance the negative ones, but turd always floats to the top.

Thank you for the time you’ve taken in writing a review. Firstly, I’m sorry to hear that you could find no positives from your experience. If throughout your two plus years with the company you were left feeling miserable then we were clearly not a good fit for you. As you’ll know from your time with us, our business has grown exponentially which requires change. So we accept that this in-turn can be difficult for some employees, particularly those who had been with the company for long periods of time and have seen their positions and standing within the business change. We accept that our environment won’t be for everyone. We also recognise that in the past there was a need for better two-way communication and a more diverse, qualified and autonomous management team and, in some cases, a change of management to allow for better support of our employees as we changed from a small founder-driven company into a much larger international business. We also recognised the need for better ‘change management’ to help employees adapt to a changing landscape. We have taken many positive steps to address these above. We would by no means claim to be the perfect organisation, as the reality of any business or leader in a business – is that we make mistakes, learn from them and improve as we go, whilst doing our upmost to adapt to the changes required for growth in a way that best serves our employees and customers. We do however strongly refute that our business in any way is dishonest, has a lack transparency or that we are mediocre. Our growth speaks for itself as does the feedback from our many employees and customers. We are sorry that you were left feeling negative after your time with us and that you have rated the business, your former peers and colleagues in such a negative way. We hope that in time you feel differently and, more importantly, that you have found a company and culture more suited to your requirements. We wish you well for the future.

Pros

There isn’t any - just avoid

Cons

Poor management, unrealistic expectations, no real HR department as the manager is the CEO’s partner so good luck with that. This place has the kind of environment where is frowned upon if you have a sick day, some members of management don’t actually have ANY people skills and like to make people feel small. If you are looking for a job that makes you feel like to the will to live has been sucked out of your body everyday, then this is the place for you!
