      Novartis owns Alcon, expect more layoffs

      Senior regional site manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you are looking for a company that is slow to change this one is for you. Lots of dead wood to clear out (long time employees who need to be relieved of their duties) and managers who don't post jobs with HR before "hiring" for new positions.

      Cons

      Sales executives drive selection of research sites and some research sites are too cozy with Alcon Sales and Marketing executives.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Easy to believe in the products and thus feel good about the work/contribution. Decent bonus and benefits package. Starbucks and health clinic onsite.

      Cons

      Rife with complacency. Good people quickly leave, as they must make up for the incompetents around them by taking on heavier workloads.
