Pros

-good carrer orientation. -good work life balance -supportive management -no time keeping practice , which give employees a kind of freedom to perform. -good pipeline. -Company has good ethics. -Work gets recognized in form of awards

Cons

-location priority -As company works more on outsourcing model, vendors are more previleged/prioritized then employees -If you show off you get promoted else you are ignored (management is not capable of tracking the right candidate). -you scrach my back, I shall scratch your back approach from management. -If you have technical orientation for IT, wrong place to work.

Pros

Always had good products to sell and promise of more to come.

Cons

I was a long term employee with a good track record. I got laid off with only 11 months to go before I was eligible for lifetime benefits (with Novartis paying for 80% of the cost).
