Novartis values the unique backgrounds, cultures and personalities of its associates, and provides an environment which embraces and leverages this diversity.

In order to attract and retain exceptionally talented Associates, Novartis offers a comprehensive total compensation package. This package consists of two parts (i.e., compensation and benefits).
 

Our compensation program is designed to be directly competitive with our peer group of high performing companies. We link reward with business and individual success both in the short and long term. This structure is typically composed of fixed base salary, variable short-term and long-term incentives. Compensation at Novartis directly reflects both individual and Company performance. This pay for performance approach leads to total compensation at superior levels for high performers.
 

The benefits program is an integral part of the total compensation strategy. Novartis provides a competitive benefits package that includes health care, life and disability insurance, retirement, and work/life benefits.
 

Details about the total compensation program will be made available in the event you are considered for an opportunity.
