Pros

-the people I work directly with are great

Cons

-no one takes responsibility/ many play the blame game and will track mistakes made by other groups -lots of push back from other departments that make my bosses not want to deal with it, so many things fall onto my group -research scientist II position feels more like a tech position - do not feel like I was hired into the correct position -3% raises when inflation has been ~7% for the past few years, they try to justify it as "this is what you would get if you went to another company because there is a committee that discusses salaries" -commute is way too long and commuter benefits don't completely cover the time and money you are spending

Pros

Good pay Good work\life balance

Cons

Under no uncertain terms should you EVER trust the Speak Up line, UNLESS you have irrefutable and well-documented facts (emails, texts, pictures) about being a member of a protected class. Management will circle the wagons (and will not stop to make up information about the employee) to protect management. This includes protection of managers who bully and intimidate and work in the grey of poor ethics. Speak Up will say that Novartis has a strict no retaliation policy - DO NOT trust it.
