Pros

Benefits are very good Time Off /Vacation is very good Sales Reps are viewed very positively despite constant changes from management.

Cons

Novartis does not value it's employee, realigning every few years so that tenured reps get let go unnecessarily. Physicians hate these transitions as it disrupts the relationships and quality spent in offices. The rating system is unfair and even those with excellent performance get let go by a third party company. The company spends more time defending itself in lawsuits and compliance issues than actually product training
