Pros

Atmosphere, people, salary and benefits. Having a health clinic on campus was great so that you didn't have to take so much time out to go see your doctor for something minor. Great workout facility. Somewhat of a good cafeteria.

Kontras

The merge with Novartis has really hurt Alcon, employees who have been there for years are seeing changes that aren't that great but new comers don't know the difference. Alcon use to be a great family oriented place to work but all that has changed. Upper management may tell you that they are working hard for you and trying to do the best they can for you but it's not all true, management only wants what is good for them and when they recieve their bonus they are happy. I would say that some of the wrong people have been laid off in the past 5 years, people that know their job, do a great job, don't goof off on the job are some of the ones laid off but there are still employees there that have been in so much trouble with HR, are close to retirement age, goof off most of the time that are still with the company. It's really a shame that the people they lay off did so much work and were dedicated to the job and now 4-5 people are doing that one job and don't know what they are doing.

Kontras

Working here makes me want to unalive myself daily. It's a typical corporate environment with lots of rules and processes that do nothing for efficiency or production and are only applied to women, minorities, or high performers that carry the team but don't have the right anatomy, look, or last name for promotions and growth. But don't worry, if you have a family connection and absolutely no skills or intellect and like to schmooze but hate work you'll probably get promoted often and rapidly. Working here over the last several years has truly drained any previous ambition I entered the workplace with. The lack of work life balance and low pay contributes to a slow descent into a sloth like existence because I can no longer afford to do outside activities and barely pay my bills, and when I do have free time it's typically interrupted by some arbitrary coworker crash out over a minor inconvenience. I find myself taking on bad health habits to make it end sooner and because you'll need to conform to being chained to your desk and sitting at your desk at least 8 hours of the day to last. bathroom breaks-ha who needs those!
