Our people are our greatest strength

At Novartis, we don’t believe in shortcuts when it comes to innovation.

Breakthroughs require advanced science, cutting-edge technology, and significant investment. But more than anything, they require people.

People who are driven by curiosity.
People who chase bold ideas and feel empowered to bring them to life.
People who push boundaries, uplift one another, and make each other extraordinary—every single day.

Our values

Our culture is our catalyst to innovation, fueling our purpose to reimagine medicine. It’s a culture that celebrates collaboration and community, where we can be both unique and united. And it’s brought to life through our values and behaviors – the way we show up, interact and get stuff done together.
