Pros

My team was amazing filled with smart, intelligent people. The 401k was top notch and the health care was good too. I also enjoyed the sports and recreational facilities on site.

Cons

Unfortunately, the higher ups could not make a decision and caused us to waste a lot of time on projects they ended up cancelling.

Pros

Engineering and manufacturing in house. Nice campus with on site gym, cafeteria, and out door court yard. Great benefits with excellent retirement plan

Cons

Experiencing beaurocratic headaches related to integrating into Novartis. Currently not backfilling vacant positions. Many employees leaving due to increased stresses and integration changes being imposed.

Pros

Close to none 401K. Forced PTO

Cons

Since, Alcon was acquired by Novartis, it seems like on the manufacturing side they only care about numbers, management comes to the production floor to look at the charts linear or non-linear. Quality it is out the question. I've working for Alcon for more than 8 I am leaving soon.
