      Pros

      Great place to work and learn as a professional. Lot of opportunities offered in a wide international environment. Good values and mission. Very competitive salaries are offered.

      Cons

      It is becoming a "business first" company. Bureaucracy and never-ending proceses. Very political environment. Hard to progress in the company

      Pros

      Novartis has an excellent compensation package, is respectful of work/life balance and has very talented and dedicated people.

      Cons

      I experienced it as still very much being a place that is run by the "good ole boy's network" at the top. It was very political and this greatly influenced your chances of advancement if you were not part of the "inner circle." As a woman of color, I thought I had finally landed in a top tier company, and a place where I would have an opportunity shine and grow. It is indeed that on paper, but my experience of Novartis was exactly the opposite! I ended up leaving without a job to go to, because I was so unhappy. This was very unfortunate and a loss on both sides!

      Pros

      Independence, great offices in Barcelona, load of responsibility, load of training, a huge marketing budget, great benefits for employees, very professional co-workers, great management, great place to learn.

      Cons

      No much opportunities for growing right now or having an indefinite contract, loads of bureaucracy and long and slow internal processes.
