      Great experience, but hit a ceiling

      Pros

      you get exposure to decision making, and new areas from day 1. you are viewed as an expert on your teams - and so until you prove otherwise. very smart colleagues and a culture that values science as the heart of innovation and value. It is a great place to get experience as other companies value what this company is doing well.

      Cons

      there is no work-life balance. the parking lot at Novartis Oncology was always nearly full routinely at 7pm each day. No advancement and little recognition for the amount or quality of work. Tough place for women to advance in particular.

      Pros

      Novartis has been doing some great science to benefit patients. It has been relatively successful in bringing innovative products to the market. It's exciting to see and hear about the good news coming out of R&D almost everyday.

      Cons

      As much as the management wants us to think the company is relatively flat, there are often layers after layers of bureaucracy employees have to go through to get buy ins. This can and has caused delays that have significant impact on project progression.
