Reviews about "decision making"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Good company to work for
Nov 9, 2020 - Senior Human Resources Business Partner in Dublin, DublinRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
People, benefits, flexibility and security
Cons
Downsizing a lot currently. Swiss culture can be very slow decision making
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Great organization with a lot of opportunities for those who want it. The total compensation package is impressive.
Cons
Oncology sales specialist salaries do not compare to the industry standard. Benchmarking results are incorrect. Leadership will not adjust and it has been tough to recruit talent. Additionally, we have lost quality employees due to salary inconsistencies. There is a lot of red tape and management layers and it's difficult to figure out who has decision making power.

Great place to work, sometimes misguided
Jan 6, 2016 - Anonymous Employee in East Hanover, NJRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Management (Oncology) recognize good work, promote from within and have many assets available for career development. Compensation is strong. Generally, a stable environment. For a big company, the silos are not as strict or defined. Those willing/able can work across different BU's or line functions to develop a more well-rounded skill set. They'll hire you into a new role based on your experience at Novartis and pharma generally so you can move laterally into new careers.
Cons
Smart people, sometimes disorganized. Executive leadership does not always properly solicit candid feedback and are making decisions without being fully informed. The new 'Novartis Business Services' model seems to be a lot of lip service. The announcement was designed to suggest there will be 'efficiency gains' and 'cost savings' but the planning and implementation were clunky and ineffective.

Pros
Salary & benefits OK, but not keeping pace with industry. Continuous downsizing.
Cons
Jobs being shed and outsourced, but individual responsibilities continuously increased. Non-technical managers making bad technical decisions. No accountability at top. Weak management of offshore vendors. You are a commodity and constantly reminded of it.
