Not the company it once was.

Pros

Competitive salary, pleasant working surroundings, good 401K and benefits

Cons

micro-management, lots of 'reductions in force' (management doesn't want to call them layoffs). What was once a great company to work for, even 3 years ago, has become just a part of a large corporate machine with no heart or soul. Loyalty to the company and years of experience is no longer considered valuable under the new ownership.

Pros

good pay and work life balance. Nice opportunity for "diverse candidates" who are "yes" men and women.

Cons

big pharma is a mess, leadership is a joke. Alcon used to welcome diverse opinions, but not anymore.
