Work life balance is good for most of the teams. Good perks like pat leave is 6month, relaxed leave policy.

Dislikes

No scope to learn something new or ground breaking. Pay is below industry standards. Every 2-3 years they keep changing the process or team structures.

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.

Only office campus

Dislikes

It's been 4 months since i joined this company. And i am already fed up. They demand you to work like machine on less salary. You have your own work but manager passes on his work also to you. There is nothing like work life balance here. Only work is all that you have here even after office hours you only have work to think about. So much pressure they put upon you. You are also responsible for the things that are not under your control. If your only life goal is to work like machine with no personal life then you can go for this company. And if you are the type of person who prefers peace over money then please stay away from this.

only learning i liked about Novartis.

Dislikes

... even bother to look after employee complains. absolutely extinct department. 7. managers will call personally and ask employees to work on saturday and sundays without any extra pay. 8. they retaliate against external/ contractual employee if not listening to them. 9. raising against management with valid issues is not taken seriously. Overall -SCM is the worst department to work.

...earn a lot about the pharma industry but you might not grow technically so much. Hikes and bonus are decent

Dislikes

If your managers and TL are not good, they will not want you to develop and take credit for your work. You might feel level of comfort and but there is fear of being obsolete, since you might not be learning new technical skills
