Good times with Ciba

Business Outlook

Pros

I loved the challenges and teamwork that goes on between everyone. I enjoyed the camaraderie in my department.Every department has its own style. The office environment and culture at CIBA is an almost academic with lots of interacting, mentoring, and sharing. People dressed in business casual and the attitude is relaxed. Many people get together after work hours. It's a supportive atmosphere for the most part. We held parties 'just because' as well. They care about safety and it is emphasize with the training and rewards.

Cons

Sometimes it got competitive with other Ciba locations when supplies are low. It can get stressful with deadlines approaching. SAP took some getting used to.

Overall a decent place to work, but with improvements could be a great place to work.

Pros

Overall a decent place to work in many respects. Reasonably good pay for the work.

Cons

High workload. This, and continued reduction of time to interface with management and availability of services (HR, EHS, etc.), creates a situation where employees must work harder to complete normal duties, and also work harder just to be seen by top management and accurately evaluated and rewarded for performance and accomplishments.
