Pros

I enjoyed working in a friendly and family environment. Novartis recognizes the need for every employee to be happy and this was highly embraced by upper management.

Cons

Sometimes it takes a longer time to implement new policies most especially in the area of implementation of new software or program due to bureaucracies.

Pros

Novartis has an excellent base salary potential. There are many different specialties and an excellent pipeline in specialty meds. Overall good experience.

Cons

Limited pipeline in the primary care division led to several reorganizations. Bonuses were not paid out at the right time occasionally and goals not set timely.
