Novartis reviews

The culture is unusually negative and political, almost toxic compared to other companies I've worked for. Novartis is a good place to ruin your career, unless you are lucky enough to favoured by a member of the 'CEG club'. Even then beware, people are commonly taken out/demoted without warning, like a sniper shot. There is a significant disconnect between what is said to employees (innovative, creative, work-life balance, honesty, patient-focused) and what is practised day-to-day (over-work, punitive removals from post, negativity, control, favoritism, the 'club' - Corporate Executive Group). The constant stream of company news is all spin and propaganda, it's painfully obvious to most employees, except managers in 'the club'. It's almost funny if it wasn't so awful.

Toxic leaders protecting by each other. P&O team do a poor job at everything they are involved in. Unachievable objectives Constant change (no chance to get work done) Anti -trans leaders Anti-women leaders "I dont believe in mental health!" was one comment from our leader. People who do the bare minimum but are SEEN get promoted and praise, Those of us to do the work are forgotten or held to a much higher standard.
