Pros

The pay is really good compared to others in the industry. Also Novartis provides alot of resources for learning more about the industry, and the different positions available. Very flexible in cross-training there employees and providing opportunities to work in other departments if wanted.

Cons

Extremely competitive work environment, with raises and promotions seemly given out on an arbitrary basis. Hard work is sometimes not appreciated or looked at by managers, but overall if seen persistently improving and providing innovation a promotion will eventually occur.

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.
