Pros

The benefits are good, but in practice work life balance occurs only to the operational level.

Cons

The salary is lower compared to the market and the demand of working for managers is high due to insufficient structure. The correction of salaries for managers is not aligned with transfer of annual inflation and are usually lagged year by year. When the managers feel exhausted, they leave Novartis Brazil, even after many years with the company. There are no investments in training for managers, regardless of the requirement for development the team. There is no trade off for the managers, the benefits not outweigh the costs.

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.
