Pros

The teams are friendly, work hard and are dedicated to developing life-changing pharmaceutical. Novartis values cultural diversity and people from different countries and different backgrounds can progress to high levels within the company based on merit.

Cons

The level of bureaucracy is a hurdle to progressing with what seem to be relatively simple activities. However this may be due in part to some of the recent changes in the company and its processes.

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.
