Pros

The best reason to work here is for your colleagues. Overall, they are a decent bunch of people who are trying to make an impact on the world. Some if the best times were when we were allowed to be ourselves and not some clone.

Cons

No one stays in the same role for longer than two years. It is as if everyone plays "hot potato" and moves onto other positions within Novartis. This is great for career development, but terrible for customer continuity.

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.
