Pros

Good pay Good work\life balance

Cons

Under no uncertain terms should you EVER trust the Speak Up line, UNLESS you have irrefutable and well-documented facts (emails, texts, pictures) about being a member of a protected class. Management will circle the wagons (and will not stop to make up information about the employee) to protect management. This includes protection of managers who bully and intimidate and work in the grey of poor ethics. Speak Up will say that Novartis has a strict no retaliation policy - DO NOT trust it.

Terrible environment

Pros

Pay and benefits, good health plan and bonuses

Cons

No work life balance. The company talks a lot about it but doesn’t give the employees the bandwidth to experience it.
