      Pros

      Good work environment and training opportunity. Reasonable salary and good work/life balance. I love Novartis culture. The management team is professional and always give the right direction of the employees. Open communication, understanding of the work capacity and this really give you a good mood during the work.

      Cons

      I really like Novartis and cannot think about any cons so far. If I have to pick one, maybe the workload is a little bit high.

      Pros

      Highly motivated, smart middle management and individual contributors. Great benefits, fair and balanced internal employee review system

      Cons

      Dysfunctional IT leadership. Severely overburdened processes make mountains out of molehills. People in charge of Quality and Compliance have little to no technical acuity, which results in weeks or months of arguing over wholly unnecessary levels of documentation and qualification that provide no additional FDA or business value. Quality and Compliance team runs completely unchecked. Nothing gets done without their approval, which completely cripples innovation.
