Pros

Excellent company with well established processes. Highly skilled individuals. I have learned a lot during my long term carrier at Novartis. I got also a lot of opportunities to learn and grow up. So overall a very good experience.

Cons

Novartis is a large company. As any large company, you need to find your way through and learn how to build a good relationship with multi-culture teams across diffrent sites. Novartis is a highly demanding company with some frequent beaks of working around the clock.

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.
