Pros

brand image, perks, additional benefits.

Cons

no growth after manager, tls. assessment system for band 5 to band 4, which is pre decided, stop assesement or bring panel from outside,inside panel not competent and decide on basis of liking. Basel HR should look into this. DSAI people are promoted to band 3 from band 4 without assessment, within a year without showing any work. tls and managers stuck in same position for 4+ years. positions open in brassring for only a night to make selected people apply into it, no criterion. US BA GH takes no interest in development of people.

Pros

Generous base, direct management top notch, man at the top has desire move the company in the right direction.

Cons

Despite the best efforts of the CEO, it is incredibly difficult to turn around a company the size of Novartis with an extremely top down, big Pharma approach. The desire exists to move towards a more bio technology culture, however even with in bio technology much of the behavior mirrors primary care big Pharma.
