Novartis Associate Data Scientist salaries in India

Likes

- Employee policies are good although its up to the manager and team if you could utilize them. - work life balance is good in some teams but really bad in some teams

Dislikes

- Salaries and hikes are way below the market, they would rather hire new with way more salary than pay existing employees even a little more ( have seen too many people who left for this reason) - Growth depends entirely on your manager and the team politics - Work life balance was so bad, my manager kept calling when on sick leave to ask when i could come back or login to finish anything - HR is the complete low, they never respond, tried emailing them 6 times with still no response

Nothing much only salary is on time as per payroll calendar.

Dislikes

Late promotion cycles. Promotion and salary hikes are given to people closer to management. Favouritism to department managers play key role here in development

Likes

Transparent Salary comparison with market. Learning and growing opportunities. Your voice is counted. Flexi working hours, good management providing regular updates. Supportive seniors.

Dislikes

Nothing as such in my area of work.

Likes

Work life balance is amazing, tech is good, salary is great, benefits are great, company culture is awesome. Lot of involvement with business stakeholders gives exposure

Dislikes

Opportunities for growth are less, if someone is pure techie, may get disappointed with the kind of work. Some days pressure is a lot, while most other days are quite breezy.

Unbossed culture (mostly) Flexible Timing (most of the teams)

Dislikes

1. TFG - Heavy cost-cutting. Clearly visible in various aspects 2. Sandoz division spin-off 3. Too much hiring from some orgs (ZS, IQVIA). People from those places bring & spread their toxic servicing client mentality (especially for IQVIA). Eventually this led to some sort of micro-management. 4. No free food. Paid food is overpriced and has no taste No cab for regular shift people. 5. SNOW - pathetic project creation tool. 6. Productivity goes for a toss as there are so many formalities 7. Promotion can be biased. have seen people climbing the ladder by organizing events.
