Novo Nordisk, Inc. Employer Reviews

It was very fun working here. The people I worked with were like my second family. I learned all my skills here. They had a gym, a cafeteria and a great environment. Employees were very well taken care of.

I loved working here and over the past few months it turned into all the other pharma companies, cut-throat dishonesty, back-stabbing just to get ahead. The managers don't manage or help others beneath them and upper management level doesn't care...they say they put the patient at the center of everything they do...to bad they don't put their employees – more... instead! Zero work life balance and the same 30 people get the high ratings at the end of the year...very sad because it is no longer the company I loved. Also no pension, and they raise your contributions towards health benefits each year. – less

very nice atmosphere friendly loving people surrounding you all the time very fast paced job ,your always learning something new .

This is the worst place i have ever worked. The environment is negative. If you are lucky enough to be with the"in crowd" you'll be ok, if not watch your back. They are back stabbers. They like for people to fail so they look smart. Pretend they are you friends and set you up to fail.

I worked for Novo Nordisk twice. And would return in a New York minute. I believe in the triple bottom line (the company core values) is the right way to do business. The only area they fall behind is diverse leadership.

Great company with great products. Very patient focused. New to the hospital and LTC arena so a definite learning curve.

The best company I ever worked for.
Job, benefits, culture, purpose, technology ... everything was great.
But it is gone.

I enjoyed every day here. My time here was contingent, I would love to make the jump back to this company as soon as possible.

This is a great company but it all depends on who you manager and regional director is. Our director was more like a tyrant. Its too bad because the company itself has great values

I like working at Novo Nordisk very much. I have learned many things while working here. The management is very supporting.

The company offers candidates salaries that do not commensurate with candidates' academic and professional experience or skills, and instead focus on the excellent medical/dental/eye benefits, 401k contributions which are higher than industry standards, and its Value system, which includes a commitment to providing an environment where employees can – more... reach their full potential to lure them in. Once inside, those Values are quickly forgotten by some groups, with multiple levels of management actively discouraging the individual development of some direct reports. A recent review said the company was not what it was cracked up to be and that there was a lack of equity. Another reviewer mentioned the company's focus and money spent to make the "best of" lists. Both individuals are 100% accurate. Unfortunately, this company is far too concerned with appearances to make outsiders believe it is the best pharmaceutical company to work for, instead of ensuring that it actually is the best company by continually demonstrating its commitment to these Values so its employees are confident that what is preached is actually what is practiced. Sadly, the company's "Lives the Values" mantra should really be, "Lists the Values" since management in some areas fail to lead by example, and ET/HR either encourage or take no corrective action. – less

a great place to work. The friendly management, young and dynamic team.

Phony leaders, don't share rewards, work your tail off, want you to drink the kool aid.

When company was younger there was much autonomy and input from employees. Still that way for the most part but "big pharma" mentality is beginning to pervade - ie, micromanagement, less autonomy, rigid rules, etc

Great pay and benefits,good work culture. Good people,great scheduling. First class organization.

Enjoy working with the others that were hired at the same time as myself for the expansion project, what a great team we are!

Novo Nordisk spends a lot of money and time working to get on the best places to work lists. They don't spend much on making sure they deserve to be. I have been very fortunate in my career and have had the opportunity to work across industries in some of the largest, most respected companies in the world. Novo Nordisk is not one of them. This is a – more... small company with a small company culture and values. – less

Bristol Myers Squibb is and has been the pinnacle organization in the pharmaceutical industry. The culture was strong and work life balance was openly discussed.
