Nothing at all.....they have decreased the salary that they were offering after 6 months of joining. Whatever the figure amount is offered theycan decrease it without a notice.just a mail that your salary has been decreased.....and it's just not one person they have done it in mass....like all the offcampus joinies have got the main that our CTC has been revised and they are decreasing the salary. This is not all the work life culture is also not good as per my opinion.

It's a great company but it'll be unfortunate if one gets into a bad project team.

  • Company culture - Excellent

Dislikes

...cording to company policy fresher can't get release from a project on their own. Even after my bike accident and ligament tear I wasn't given WFH rather I was kept on leave without pay for more than a month. Even now after ligament repair surgery managers are forcing to take leaves without pay.

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 ?
