1. Policies are Good. 2. Employees personal concerns are taken care.

Dislikes

1. Need to have Strategic Partnership with Client for continuous Business Operations. 2. Most of the Mid Senior level employees (SM+) lacks management. Giving False promises and False directions to subordinates. 3. Inability for employees to work on cross-technology skills. 4. Organization focusses more on core operational management instead of grooming Technical Managers. 5. Organization employs non-professional resources represent to client. Only capable resources (having both technical Framework knowledge and soft skills (demonstrational capabilities / Communication skills)) should have direct interaction with client or should be assigned as a key player to represent to client. 6. Work culture is not good. M+ Level resources though were not tagged to managerial role are assigned to managerial cubicle based on known influence....Read More

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 ?
