Pros

The environment at Novartis is good. Most employees are friendly and easy to work with. Most employees in higher positions were very approachable.

Cons

Mostly contractors doing the work with very few opportunities to advance. There are a few members in the department who are very manipulative and it is very hard to work with management to resolve some of the major issues.

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
