Novartis Job Offer

Hi everyone, I have 3.6 years of IT experience and currently work at a service-based company in Pune. My current CTC is 14 LPA (13.5 LPA fixed). I recently received an offer from Novartis Hyderabad as Data Analyst level 3 with a CTC of 19.9 LPA (18.3 LPA fixed). Is this a good offer, or is it on the lower side for my experience? Would appreciate your suggestions! Any answers from people working at Novartis pls ?

Cognizant as a company good. But the management is the worst. Because of one guy the attrition rate is so high that nobody can stay for 1month. People are coming and going.

It’s a good place to work and learn knowledge and the career growth depends on how you prove yourself if you once prove that you are good at the work you will be having the same expectations in the management but in case of any issues in your work then you will be with the same opinion in the management thoughts.As a fresher you will learn many things but not satisfactory pay. And if you are planning to take a move from any other company they will be satisfactory pay.The only thing which makes feel a bit uncomfortable is the micro management.But overall experience you will surely come out with good working skills....Read More
