      Nightmare - Procurement Director Novartis Employee Review

      Pros

      Many of my peers are just wonderful people. The Campus is still impressive. Some technologies this company is practicing (e.g. CAR-T) are life saving for certain patients.

      Cons

      Everybody is operating in a survival mode. A culture of fear! Many managers are simply bullies (even physically!!), especially on the CEO-2 and-3 level. The main "products" they are working on are slide decks. Some of those suspects don't even really understand what this company is doing. It's way beyond their intellectual and educational horizon. 20% of your time you are working for the patient; 80% you are working for useless, incompetent managers!

      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.
