Novartis Specialist salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

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

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.
