Alcon reviews

Not enough resources and often working very long hours. Due to acquisition and integration,the company lost really good talented people with exceptional skill set who brought a lot to the table. European influenced leadership often pushes the envelope in product compliance.

People are burned out and dissatisfied as they have so much work to do and not enough people to do it. There is also a long time reputation for constant layoffs. The training offered to employees is difficult to obtain, and the company doesn't seem to want to invest in their people, although they keep stating they do just to be in compliance with their own policies.. Line and upper managers are constantly being replaced. There is no job stability due to constant changes going on. As it is a division of Novartis, it has also become very bureaucratic.. People are so immersed on their work that they loose perspective of what the company is all about.
