Pros

Not many actually ... but I hear that before being purchased by Novartis, Alcon was one of those good old boys network, yet a great company to work for ... they did take very good care of their employees. Nestle did not interfere with their operations and slowly but surely they did their thing. Lot's of 15+ years of service employees - not anymore though.

Cons

Chaotic management, random lay-offs for the sole purpose of diverting attention from oneself. Right now the problem is across all franchises, functions and levels. No one (absolutely no one) is happy. Budgets are tight, pipeline non-existent, a lot of waste of resources and lack of investment on what really matters.
