Pros

Good benefits, week off at Christmas, bonuses and reward system. Great people- very friendly and eager to help a new comer. Internal movement and promotions actually are encouraged. There is never going to be a perfect company, but coming from one that was truly terrible to here has been a breath of fresh air. I do wish the people who bad mouth the management and company as a whole would either change the sour attitude or move on. There are lots of new people coming in, and they bring fresh, happy attitudes and improve the morale just by being so positive. The grumbling from the unhappy ones does nothing to improve the environment but just breaks down motivation and ruins the happiness of others. Management here is light years better than other pharma companies in the area. People complaining about them obviously don't know how good they have it here.

Cons

All the layers we need to go through to get simple things done, or approvals through. Having headquarters in Jersey makes some things more difficult to get accomplished.

Pros

Few layers of management make it possible for individuals to be recognized for their contributions and success. Sandoz is a company that demands the best of every employee and it's great to see what people can accomplish and where their careers take them whether at Sandoz US or elsewhere within Novartis.

Cons

The workload is intense. You have to know how to prioritize and focus on working quickly and accurately.

Pros

Not many I can think of , pretty good health benefits and 401k match nice cafeteria and a clean facility , security guard

Cons

Awful lab culture, managers that also the care about anything but samples, supervisors that don't supervise instead write investigations all day. The director displays anything but quality behavior and ex managers still try to manage the labs. They spread negative rumors about the chemists if you are not a favorite. The hours are long due to the workload and you are told you are a complainer if you say anything. The behavior is def not quality. They don't replace people when they leave instead they make people in other departments permanent. Plenty of spies in the lab
