Pros
Pay and benefits are industry average .. good ground to network and best of class in some areas
Cons
Glass ceiling and career path discussed with your manager is just a paper Sr mgmt is bunch of bullies (alpha dogs) and that is a reflection of the rest of the food chain .. long working hours and no understanding of work life balance very negative culture .. and focused on CHF, and more CHFand more $$$$$ .. job cuts announced to the public if it happens in the US .. other places are done quietly they have a marketing term for job cuts, they call it increasing novartis productivity ... they are moving the jobs to INDIA .. that is all. They will bring it back in 2015 when they realize that such model will not work.
