Pros

I loved the challenges and teamwork that goes on between everyone. I enjoyed the camaraderie in my department.Every department has its own style. The office environment and culture at CIBA is an almost academic with lots of interacting, mentoring, and sharing. People dressed in business casual and the attitude is relaxed. Many people get together after work hours. It's a supportive atmosphere for the most part. We held parties 'just because' as well. They care about safety and it is emphasize with the training and rewards.

Cons

Sometimes it got competitive with other Ciba locations when supplies are low. It can get stressful with deadlines approaching. SAP took some getting used to.

Pros

Great benefits, hybrid & remote roles, great colleagues to work with. Great vacation /time off. Helpful colleagues

Cons

Reorganizations (roughly 3 years), IT roles dwindling in North America(moving to India), teams can get very silo-ed, “not my role” = not helping you (when you are looking for answers/assistance), currently seeing a lot of movement out of New Jersey (roles moving to other parts of the country), some organizational charts can be confusing, huge organization(can be difficult at times pinpointing the exact team you may need to work with)
