Pros

Novartis was overall, a very good place to work. Very nice campus, challenging, but rewarding work. There are many opportunities to move into various areas of the company. Novartis encourages employees to grow their skills, and will pay for you to attend a class or pursue a degree. Overall, they seem to value their employees.

Cons

During the time I was there, they changed their organizational structure more than once. Having been in the industry, I now realize this is not unusual, but it can greatly impact the productivity of your job.

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.
