Pros

When this company was Bausch & Lomb, the co-workers were fantastic, opportunities were plentiful, and things were advancing.

Cons

Little to no raises, virtually no promotions. Cut too many good programs like education assistance, no travel, and vacation time. Cut R&D to death - more concerned with buying products that developing them from within. Greedy upper management.

Loved my time as Bausch, but Valeant is a parasite, so I pursued other opportunities (I was NOT laid off)

Pros

Bausch + Lomb was innovative, forward looking, and valued quality people...this literally ended the day Valeant took over, so the great folks (there were many) have left, leaving those that don't want to leave for some reason, or can't leave for some reason.

Cons

Under Valeant, the company is following the business model that Valeant has for a few years now, which is to fire all support and innovative personnel, and hope those few left can keep the lights on long enough to suck the products dry, and the discard the company like yesterday's garbage. A shame to end Bausch + Lomb's 160 years of success and innovation with at the hands of such a destructive company as Valeant, but I'm doing my part to warn folks not to get involved.

Pros

I have no pros for this company.

Cons

Don't work here whatever you do. They expect you to work 24/7. No work life balance at all. The upper management just choose favorites, so don't even think about getting promoted. The company is behind 15 years. No diversity at all.
