Pros

In a time where the environment for pharma companies is extremely difficult, Novartis has developed a rich pipeline that holds promise for continued growth over the next several years. Novartis has shown a particular commitment to growth, particularly in Oncology.

Cons

Novartis is not for the faint of heart - many people who work here say they've never been given so much responsibility at other pharma companies. There is a risk of sacrificing depth for breadth. As with any large company, bureaucracy and process can get in the way of driving the business.

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
