Pros

401k, bonuses, stocks, paid time off is generous.

Cons

Too many reorgs in a short period of time. lots of bureaucracy, culture to promote/recognize "favorites". Culture has changed in a negative way in recent past. Lots of talk about people empowerment but not a lot of action behind it. Many tenured associates leaving after decade plus years of time at Novartis
