How about that zero payout?





All of this is true. Crm is a great place to stay if you are trying to hang on for retirement or as of this year get a few years of job experience. It’s also decent for people who don’t want to work hard and are ok with a meager payout. If you want to be paid & work towards a real goal -this is not the place for you. I cannot believe how low we have sunk. I can’t believe the leqvio payouts people get for doing nothing. Novartis doesn’t know what a team is. I can’t understand how anyone in leadership still has a job after the leqvio launch. 2 years later there is barely any strategy or support.

C.R.M. is an awful place to get industry experience, as even the Novartis dead-enders can recognize what embarrassing debacle this has been.
No other company functions this way.
An endless parade of FDA sanctions; bottom-tier, incompetent leadership; spending 9B for a company and refusing to buy credible data; subjecting reps to be responsible for the performance of their district, not their territory; encouraging lackadaisical works ethics because of is ok to let everyone else build your bonus check (if you actually get one).
None of this is normal.
Everyone who leaves will eventually see just how deranged Novartis C.R.M. really is.
 




I’ve answered this question before. Novartis offers really great overall total compensation when you add in all the time off we get - vacation. Personal, sick days, paid care time, bereavement and all the company holidays. When you shop other companies most of the total comp doesn’t come close. Add in the fact that many companies are taking away any form of retirement benefits and just offering 401 K while Novartis still has the defined contribution benefit in addition to 401 k. If you have a chunk of time invested here it’s hard to walk away from. Believe me I am looking it just has to be the right for before I walk away from all that I have here. Handcuffed

Long winded way of justifying why you are a lazy smuck and a Novartis lifer. Damages goods.
