      Pros

      Focused on science. If one believe to have a scientific persona then Novartis is the place to be at.

      Cons

      Not too transparent in some of the aspects. Salary-wise : Not as competitive as the competitors.

      Pros

      Good science. Good resources. Good management training opportunities.

      Cons

      Most toxic work environment I have ever experienced. Managers only focus on managing "up" to move ahead, often at the cost of their reports. No internal promotions and little recognition for quality work. Speak up and be cut off at the knees culture, even private discussions with manager. Employee review process generally used to punish those who do not fit the "Stepford" employee model. HR's primary role is to protect the abusive middle management corps.
