Novartis Pharmaceuticals – “Nepotism”
Pros
Flexible work schedules
401K matching
Great pipeline of anticancer drugs
Cons
Difficult to keep abreast of so many internal policy and procedural changes
Management positions doled out based on favoritism and not true talent and experience
Difficult to advance on chosen career path without knowing the "right people"
Culture is built on 'every man for himself' and not teamwork
Management seems threatened by those they manage
Advice to Senior Management
Although Novartis desires the number one spot in the pharma industry, it will prove difficult with some of the current senior management, primarily due to the fact that true teamwork and entrepreneurship is not encouraged.
