Pros

Alcon makes strong products that help people. It is nice to be a part of that. The pay at Alcon is competitive.

Cons

It still feels like a "good old boys" club. There is not a lot of women leadership. They say they are making changes but actions speak louder than words. Upper management is working to change things, but has yet to be able to do anything more than TALK about the changes they want to make.
