Pros

1. Generally pleasant people across the organization 2. Strong pipeline across several therapy areas 3. Employees are generally very empowered

Cons

1. People in senior positions who are incapable of doing their jobs or leading teams effectively; lack of strategic management or talent in many positions. The UK market specifically is comprised of people who are typically pessimistic, non-collaborative and often rude 1A. Lack of accountability across the entire commercial organisation 2. Lack of compassion across the entire organization with regards to constant restructuring which has created an unhealthy working culture for current employees 3. Leaders that fail to realise or acknowledge how lagging Novartis is compared to competitors in certain areas of the business. Instead they seem to rely on external consulting firms who suggest Novartis is competitive
