Toxic, grueling work environment in Cambridge - Anonymous employee Novartis Employee Review

Limited growth opportunities for non-PhDs. Weird cultural limits to who you could interact with beyond the scope of your position. Toxic atmosphere with no real tangible direction. Everyone looks miserable and unhappy. Most days people were rude and unprofessional. HR and management doesn't deal with poor/toxic performers in a timely manner. So many sexist comments and favoritism, and when brought to anyone's attention it was gaslit like crazy. Calibration was completely nonsensical even within the same departments. Even if you do well, you still question your worth and your place. Very academic-like environment rather than a corporate one.
