Pros

They follow the development very well, almost every year 1-2 times the guidelines are updated, they always keep you up to date. The remuneration is not very fair, so negotiate very well when you join novartis because this is the salary you will get if you do not promote in the position.

Cons

employees are very politically oriented, after all, the workplace is not a place for you to be family or friends. you need to have good relationships as well as doing your job well. Human resources in particular will mentally harass you and present you with endless demands and practices. No matter how well you perform, if you do not have a good relationship with someone important in human resources, you will face difficulties both in performance interviews and in promotion in the position, and worse, you may not be aware of them.

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.
