Pros

Great benefits and laid back atmosphere as long as you get your work done

Cons

The company goes through a lot of "reorganizations" every few years where they let everyone go from whole departments and interview/hire back the employees they want to keep. This way they don't get involved in lawsuits for wrongful termination since technically they let go of everybody and re-hire select people. Leads to an uneasy environment about job security.

Pros

Good legacy Some amazing products Nice folks (depends on department)

Cons

Legacy Novartis staff are given preferential leadership roles Emma says “have courage” but the moment you raise a question , you’re deemed an outcast and your future is tarnished People pretend and pat each other on the back to support cronyism and unfair treatment If you’re pretty or good looking, you can go far One director said - “celebrity is more important than capability. The guy who got promoted to a huge role isn’t capable but good at being a celebrity” Silent restructuring and forcing people to resign on their own without compensation.
