Pros

Good salary in the past, good social benefits

Cons

Looks like a good firm with good strategy however there is no common sense in executive management, employees are desperately looking for new alternatives, I would never advice you to work for Novartis. Chaos brings unfair year end ratings, and mobbing is a usual tool that most first line managers use to rule.

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.
