<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5320173"]If you are looking at coming to Novartis to work take a minute to consider how many good folks have been laid off by this company over the past 5 years. Then ask yourself why that might have happened. Sure some of the changes were legit and the structure needed updating. But, for the majority of the most current "right sizing" Novartis has implemented a "just lay everybody off within a division to avoid litigation". Novartis has zero investment in creating a culture that values people. I'm sure they like to think they do but the proof is in the pudding. Look at how they treat people. Ask around and check the pulse of the sales force you might be working with and you will find a bunch of unhappy people wondering when the hatchet will fall on them. Maybe someone in leadership will read this but doubtful. It must take an extremely special person to implement all of this head-count reduction with the mentality of looking forward to 2015! Funny thing is leadership thinks they are safe but eventually when single payor is fully instituted within our government they will have a chance to evaluate their behavior during the past few years. In closing if this was something that occurred every few years it might be more acceptable but to constantly lay off solid people and whole divisions year after year after year just seems souless to me. So take this advice or ignore it you have been warned. No job is safe ultimately but some are safer than others and this company is not one of the safe ones I'm sorry to say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
