Pros

A progressive company that backs it's people and delivers on promises. You can progress with Novartis and achieve any goal you aim for. People care. Policies are sound. and expectations are discussed. Management listens. (what a concept)

Cons

large territories, lots of driving in some parts of the country. Not enough hours to really get the job done, th eresearch and data crunching done, and the paperwork. You have to be committed to building this career or it is a waste of your time (like any career).

Pros

Genuine management interest in employee attitudes and feelings. A company that values diversity and not just with lip service. Benefits are one of the best in the pharmaceutical industry and there is usually good visibility to a future up the career ladder.

Cons

Complex organization with overlapping and unnecessary layers. Different segments of the company are isolated from others making interaction on common issues difficult. Much duplication of effort.
