      Pros

      Great benefits, amazing coworkers... Love my job! Love my department! Everyone here builds morale and really enjoys each other's company, which in a stressful job, really makes all the difference in the world.

      Cons

      Novartis, Alcon's parent company, outsources meetings altogether and as Alcon moves towards more of Novartis' ideals and outlooks, I'm nervous that they'll eliminate my department. They will offer a severance package so that's a plus! Also there are some politics involved in development and moving up but if you're a workhorse, you'll go far! They have trouble balancing home and work life so in my job, if you're not 100% in love with this job and this life, you'll hate it.

      Pros

      Alcon had amazing people working there, all for extremely long tenures. The products were exceptional, mostly best in class, and the OPH subspecialty was outstanding to develop relationships and do business

      Cons

      Alcon consistently changed the sales goals which made sales attainment more difficult every year with less resources. There was intense pressure all the time which started degrading what started out as a really fantastic corporate culture.
