      Pros

      Alcon used to be a really great company to work for. Awesome benefits, talented and dedicated people to work with, and it was a very customer-oriented company.

      Cons

      When Novartis took over, they made many changes, many of which have not turned out to be for the benefit of Alcon's reputation, its employees, or its customers.

      Pros

      Good Benefits: Vision, Dental, Prescription. Good company culture. Beautiful main campus facilities. In depth training that prepares you well for your job.

      Cons

      When the company was bought by Novartis a lot of things have changed, layoffs when we don't meet their absurd quotas when the entire industry is down. Even though Alcon has fared better than most of the market, Novartis expects too much while greatly diminishing the resources we have to complete their over demanding tasks.

      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.
