Pros

36 paid days of Good restaurant with cheap meals Nice sport group lessons Good working pressure with enough flexibility

Cons

They are market leader but i have a feeling more is possible. You notice verry strong that puurs is not the headquarter and therefore everything is moving verry slow. You need to be verry patient if you want to realise things

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.
