Pros

Great compensation and benefit. Also alcon has a good sense of purpose.

Cons

Specifically want to share about my organization QRA. Working in QRA- it's like being stuck in a slow line at your favorite coffee shop, but instead of coffee, it's paperwork and endless waiting. Everyone's playing a game of "yes-man" bingo, and if you're not nodding along, you're not winning. Ever tried speaking up or shooting down a wild idea? Forget about it. That's the fast track to nowhere, especially after QA and RA became BFFs. It's gotten so bad that a lot of the good folks have already quit. I miss the good old RA days when we could openly contribute our ideas. Now, it's like there's a secret club, and the only way to talk to the big bosses is through your manager. It's a whole new level of silly. I feel that culture flows top to bottom, after the departure of our RA SVP, culture has drastically changed for the worse. It breaks my heart writing this because i once really loved working here not so anymore
