The worst.

Pros

Enjoyed co-workers. Nice salaries. Severance package is decent.

Cons

Horrible management. Terrible compensation. Always inconsistent. No transparency. Forced ranking system. Mediocre products. Feedback is pointless. Decisions are made to benefit upper management. No room for growth. Company is headed in specialty direction. Constant layoffs.

Pros

fair compensation, fairly good work life balance, great specialty products

Cons

Novartis has not fought back when patents were challenged, have given up on great primary care products when they hit a glitch. They have lost the great culture that they had 5 years ago.

Pros

I have never seen any company take such a strong interest in the development of its associates despite being performance driven.

Cons

Sometimes too performance driven and seems almost ruthless
