Pros

5 days - 8 working hours, 60 days work from home, 29 leaves in a year, quarterly team outings. Overly paid people, given that work doesn't justify pay-scale.

Cons

Novartis framework promotes mediocrity. There are not here for creating a organization of highest quality. A complete no-no for freshers.
