Sandoz reviews

Expectation that work is your life (work all day, night, last minute demands on weekends) People treated like 'assets'...tools to make money Sales/money is the only priority, and is reinforced over and over again by the President (PG) Short-term focus (week to week) at expense of the future Insane bureaucracy and micromanagement. Exec Committee (specifically President) is the only one who can make a decision. Zero empowerment. Fear culture..big time! Criticize-first mentality, which drives a lack of risk taking (stagnancy) Have not talked with one person who is not looking for another job...even those who have been around less than one year (check the other comments here to confirm!) President is a one-trick pony with his dictatorial style, and it's not working with the US culture. Exec Committee is also afraid of speaking up to President. Sales team not given any time to cultivate customers. Make numbers quickly or you're gone. High turnover, especially with Exec Committee. Seems like we have a whole new crew every year. No stability. New ones come in. President tells them to change everything. Creates chaos and fear.

Unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance, no processes or systems in place. Crazy pressure and competitiveness… No trust by management – no empowerment, extreme micro-management starting at the top. Rule by intimidation and fear. Very negative culture, that starts at the top...first question management asks is – who is to blame? Blame game and no collaboration type of culture. Very high turnover – some voluntary and some not…Many people fired. People get burned out and quit or get fired, so either way a short-term type position. Also title inflation to get people in – everyone gets promoted to come to Sandoz. …then they work you 80 hrs/week, so it’s actually less expensive then hiring 2 people. Just to re-emphasize – NO WORK LIKE BALANCE …and combine that with the commute on Route 1…. You've been warned...
