Pros

Over time meal provided, benefit is ok but not great, salary is industry average but not as high as expected.

Cons

1, lots over time if you are working at share service center 2, because reporting to Switchland, you are always 7 hrs behind during month end which creates extremely pressue if you work in the US time zone 3, In most company, Issue is a simple JE fix or under accrual. But in Novartis, you will be listed on the blacklist email. 4, Monthly performance review which is too much.

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.
