    2.0

    Novartis Director in East Hanover, NJ:   (Past Employee - 2007)

    Pros

    The comp package is quite good, but expect to work hard to keep it.

    Cons

    The politics are overwhelming, so be prepared to wade through the mire of red tape.
    The corporate motto may be "Caring and Curing" but the actuality is "make your numbers or your fired."

    Advice to Senior Management

    Listen to the employees. Open workspace isn't the answer to becoming a great company.
