Pros

Fantastic people, Beautiful campus. Competitive salary in DFW market.

Cons

Since the spin out from Novartis, there has been a large focus on improving the bottom line, which means cost cutting. This is beginning to erode in the quality of the employee's lives. I suspect you'll start to see fewer life-long Alcon employees.
