Peu de tâches et on doit toujours se faire vérifier
Analyste contrôle qualité (Former Employee) - Boucherville, QC - 20 January 2022
Si on a envie de prendre son temps et presque rien faire c'est une bonne place. Il faut pas oublier que tout doit être vérifier et donc on doit attendre constamment après les collèges pour qu'ils signent. Beaucoup de règlements et on doit constamment se justifier. C'est un bon premier travail pour quelqu'un qui sort de l'école, mais je vois pas vraiment d'avancement
Pros
Cafétéria sur place, bonne assurance, café gratuit, travail tranquille vu qu'on a 8 heures pour faire une tache
Cons
Ambiance de compétition entre les gens de jours et de soirs, on doit toujours attendre après les autres, très surveiller et aucune latitude permise

I got bullied by the director on a weekly basis, in front of my colleagues. There is gossip, favoritism and a lot of micromanagement as well.
Program Manager (Former Employee) - Dorval, QC - 14 January 2022
Typical day was taking calls, answering emails, doing follow-ups, entering new patients, meetings and reports. I hated my job because I was promised a supervisor who didn't supervise and instead referred to me for questions. I was not recognized for my effort. Finishing the day 1-3 hours past my normal work hours was considered "normal".
Pros
Work from home. That's about it.
Cons
Toxic upper management, Micromanagement, Too many hours (not fairly compensated), Not much work culture since COVID, Favoritism and gossip

Good
Senior Initiation Clinical Site Manager (Former Employee) - Moscow, ON - 11 May 2020
I learned a lot working at this company. I recommend to take this experience if you dream to work in pharmaceutical industry. Because working in CRO and pharmaceutical company is two different things.

Novartis was a good place to work as a sales rep.
Senior Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 3 January 2020
Novartis was a good place to work. Immediate managers for the most part were excellent. Downsizing was to frequent, and the job security and sales force motivation was negatively affected.

Bon entreprise, recomandable
Analyste Senior / Team Leader (Former Employee) - Boucherville, QC - 18 December 2019
Bon rémunération, des bonnes avantages sociales. Le Bmol de l'entreprise est la pression sur les employés, l'attitude négative du département de RH, la culture malsainte de la part de ceux qui gèrent les employés. Le ritm de travail et le stress est vraiment au delas de l'imagination, mais j'ai beaucoup appris , professionnellement !
