Pros

Great experience if you’re interested in pursuing cell therapy as a career. Novartis has impeccable benefits.

Cons

Low pay for industry standards. The culture of the East Hanover clinical site is abysmal.. I don’t know how corporate hasn’t found out. Management has brushed multiple data integrity issues under the rug. Manager of the processing unit needs control and a say in anything that happens. Minimal flexibility even though the company adopted an unbossed culture. There is absolutely no growth within this position.

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.
