Sandoz reviews

Unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance, no processes or systems in place. Crazy pressure and competitiveness… No trust by management – no empowerment, extreme micro-management starting at the top. Rule by intimidation and fear. Very negative culture, that starts at the top...first question management asks is – who is to blame? Blame game and no collaboration type of culture. Very high turnover – some voluntary and some not…Many people fired. People get burned out and quit or get fired, so either way a short-term type position. Also title inflation to get people in – everyone gets promoted to come to Sandoz. …then they work you 80 hrs/week, so it’s actually less expensive then hiring 2 people. Just to re-emphasize – NO WORK LIKE BALANCE …and combine that with the commute on Route 1…. You've been warned...

Workforce is too lean. Too much work and very little understanding from management. Most people do not have a work-life balance. It is a competitive environment to the point where people throw you under the bus regularly to save themselves and appear to contribute more than they actually do. A select few are favored and allowed to come to work late and leave early on a regular basis. Some are disengaged and work on their own schedule which differs from regular working hours. They tend to want people to respond to them quickly, but rarely respond to others. Directors and Associate Directors micromanage to the point where it stifles creativity and innovation. Procedures are not consistent between departments and the people within the same department work against each other. People make changes that are not communicated throughout the group or agreed on, then demand that everyone comply. The environment is negative and many employees do not feel valued. The pay is on the low end for some positions, but still within range.
