Tough Place to Work

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some people who are very nice and try to be helpful. The Princeton headquarters is new.

Cons

Workforce is too lean. Too much work and very little understanding from management. Most people do not have a work-life balance. It is a competitive environment to the point where people throw you under the bus regularly to save themselves and appear to contribute more than they actually do. A select few are favored and allowed to come to work late and leave early on a regular basis. Some are disengaged and work on their own schedule which differs from regular working hours. They tend to want people to respond to them quickly, but rarely respond to others. Directors and Associate Directors micromanage to the point where it stifles creativity and innovation. Procedures are not consistent between departments and the people within the same department work against each other. People make changes that are not communicated throughout the group or agreed on, then demand that everyone comply. The environment is negative and many employees do not feel valued. The pay is on the low end for some positions, but still within range.

Pathetic excuse for a business

Pros

They have Free Parking in the lot

Cons

Pathetic management, without knowledge of current industry standards, no communication. Teamwork is not allowed only individual contributors. Utilities fail constantly, HVAC leaks into building. No current technology, 20 years behind current standards. Employees made to use antiquated equipment. Bueracracy and the inability to move anything forward, Stay away, enormous turnover and peers and management all to eager to throw you under the bus and back over you repeatedly. No culture except work and additional work. Money is the ONLY driver and a lack of any to spend, no compassion for patients or employees.

Too Bad -it has potential!

Pros

Hard work, decent pay, Novartis leadership, and potential to good for patients who need generic medications. The building blocks are all present.

Cons

Poor hiring practices. Good people leave and the ones who stay are incompetent, at best. No leadership. Too lean -burn out good people.
