My experience at Alcon; going from good to bad.

Pros

Challenging projects to work on, excellent talent pool to develop new products, great pay and benefits. Actively involved in local community charities.

Cons

New projects and talent pool cut due to 'portfolio re-alignment', benefits slowly being trimmed to save a buck, too many micro-managers. More lay-offs coming.
