Pros

Novartis is filled with great peopl both in HQ and the Field. Love the culture, focus on patients and career development opportunities. Pay for performance and great overall package. Great culture if you're ok with frequent change. Excellent products and pipeline.

Cons

The downside of frequent change is restructures are common. Consultants too frequently relied on and are not the best advisors, especially when it comes to field org. Pay is good but hard for internals to compete with those brought in from outside. May need to move in order to increase salary to what you're actually worth. Changes to travel policies and compensation package may result in tenured and loyal employees to consider leaving.
