Pros

Everything is consistent. Your job will be the same every single day. You will get to problem solve a bit, but it’s nothing that you are not trained for and the benefits a great.

Cons

They moved toward the “woke” end of the spectrum. You will get emails about every diversity month and festival based on cultural differences. They focus too much on diversity instead of the task of doing their job. Instead of bonuses based on safety or achieving production goals. They will throw a pizza party or give you meaningless Bluetooth speaker that you later have to pay taxes on. If you are in the manufacturing wing, they treat you different than when you work in the towers. They will tell you of all the benefits and cool events that you get during orientation but, if you are in manufacturing you do not get to partake in any of it.

Pros

Benefits and perks exist on paper and outwardly it would seem like a good company to join. WLB balance is good.

Cons

You may never receive the benefits as your manager may not vouch for them or grant you those benefits that only exist on paper. Also you might work on the same project during your whole time in Alcon as things progress slowly.
