Novartis reviews

despite having very good policies and career opportunities you seldom have opportunities to use it unless you butter your manager. Especially in medcomms. The managers do not live upto the expectation, neither have the capability to handle team. If they don't like you, they will trap you nicely into office politics. If you know how to please managers then your promotion are rewards are confirmed.

Excessive politics and favoritism lack of adequate plans for an associate growth Although they do assessment of an associate before promotion, but that is very biased No value to your education or prior experience, they will fit you in any team without considering your skillset People who are only graduates BA or B.com are managing people who have done MBA from premier institutes as ISB and IIM. Just because they are older in system they become managers and then due to their insecurity they will not forward good feedback of their reportees. They introduced a new layer of leadership less than couple of years before, they are the most useless people in the organization and believe that they can increase the margins for their team by cutting associates increment and variable pays.
