      QC Scientist Bioanalytics - QC Scientist Novartis Employee Review

      Pros

      Good benefits and good co-workers.

      Cons

      Terrible management, they lack of experience and someone likes to micromanage your work, and the work of other managers. They like to select their favorites, including people who do not do anything in the lab and get promoted cause they are friends with management. There is zero growth in this department unless you become a tool and do side “projects” in order to be out of the lab. There is no equal work opportunity in this place.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

      Cons

      Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
