Partly intolerable conditions
This works well in the company
Good wages, good food options, recreational opportunities, fitness center, shopping, etc.
This could be improved
Generally low appreciation of the employees. Too much fluctuation leads to the fact that the quality of the delivered work remains in the lower level. Poor induction, people are usually taught on the job. Novartis is very persistent in its cost-cutting policy, even though it has a very good turnover. It saves on staff, which means that more work is distributed to fewer people, which in turn leads to a poor work-life balance. Sometimes you have to work until late at night and over the weekend to keep the timelines. But nobody cares about that, only results count. In some cases, jobs are given to less suitable employees, because many things are done through acquaintances. This is then justified with the magic word "networking". These less suitable employees then also make wrong decisions more often. Talking a lot, showing oneself intelligent and putting oneself in the foreground is sometimes more important than hard and good work that one does in secret if one wants to get ahead in the company.

No feedback on application after 3 months
After 3 months except the standard mail that the application is received, no feedback will be received. Doesn't exactly testify to the wet estimation of potential employees.

Managers say one thing but do something different
The managers of this company are so excellent of saying fanstastic things in one minute and doing the opposite the next minute. For example, an IT leader would send out email to shower the team with praise, then he decided to lay off half of the same team because the people are too expensive. He then encouraged those made redundant to go with pride and look to a bright future........This is just one of many examples I have seen......with horror. Good company but be careful with ugly political managers who would do anything to make themselves look good.

waste of time
Two applications, the next two I gave myself. Feedback zero and that after months. Even asking an internal person I know hasn't made a difference in my application
