Pros

The people made all the difference with their tremendous talent, collaborative capacity and dedicated work ethic. There was a special kinship and spirit shared by all who worked there.

Cons

Unfortunately, Novartis chose to shut down their only US Pharma manufacturing and packaging site. The site was undervalued by the global network.

Pros

Excellent salaries, benefits, facilities and people. Very committed to quality in both documentation and processes. One of the best companies I have worked for.

Cons

Many, many jobs outsourced and off-shored. While this may have slashed costs and been good for the "bottom line" and shareholders, it caused a sharp drop in morale, job continuity and led to a general distrust of upper management.
