      NOVARTIS .. NO WAY STAY AWAY - Senior Global Insights Manager Novartis Employee Review

      2.0
      Dec 3, 2010
      Senior global insights manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Pros

      Pay and benefits are industry average .. good ground to network and best of class in some areas

      Cons

      Glass ceiling and career path discussed with your manager is just a paper Sr mgmt is bunch of bullies (alpha dogs) and that is a reflection of the rest of the food chain .. long working hours and no understanding of work life balance very negative culture .. and focused on CHF, and more CHFand more $$$$$ .. job cuts announced to the public if it happens in the US .. other places are done quietly they have a marketing term for job cuts, they call it increasing novartis productivity ... they are moving the jobs to INDIA .. that is all. They will bring it back in 2015 when they realize that such model will not work.

      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.
