Pros

Great people, excellent pay and benefits, diversity, equity, and inclusion is a priority, amazing drug discovery. Fantastic facilities, great benefits.

Cons

Company puts shareholders ahead of employees, lots of reorganization, NVS sells off properties and cuts departments and platforms with seemingly no notice. This is not unique...to the contrary, this is the norm in most huge corporations. 10 years ago, NVS seemed to really value all employees, but of late, employees are more a means to an end - PROFIT.
