Bad experience post resignation

Pros

Great work-life balance, good team

Cons

Bad experience post resignation in processing full and final settlement. One of the major values of Novartis is integrity, which they clearly lacked in my full and final settlement. They did not process as per their commitment.

Not a fan of big pharma

Pros

None really. They make it sound like it’s such a great company but in the end it’s a huge disappointment. If you just want to blend in and collect a paycheck this is the place for you.

Cons

Typical Big Pharma complaints. Communication is terrible. If you want to learn new things and grow this is not the company for you.
