Excellent work culture promoting growth and development of expertise in particular area.

Dislikes

People once worked in Novartis are habituated with working to confined tasks and can't explore work beyond comfort zone. Outside company culture can be disaster for the people associated for long term with Novartis. Once company cuts down the head count, difficult to get another job, due to confined work area knowledge and exposure.

Waste of time to give interview especially in the team ‘Integrated Insights’. I referred two candidates there. These candidates cleared 3 technical interviews but didn’t hear back after HR rounds 3.
