      Alcon is not the same since purchased by Novartis.

      Pros

      Alcon had many great people, good benefits and flexible work schedule.

      Cons

      Employees constantly worried about being laid-off due to Novartis's never-ending "re-organization". The environment changed drastically and Alcon was no longer an employee-friendly company. Novartis was all about the bottom line & adjusting head-count. Employees were expected to do the work of 2-3 people. The stress was overwhelming.

      Pros

      Lots of opportunities, company benefits and campus perks, collaborative environment. The main campus has lots to offer including a first-class gym, an excellent cafeteria with gourmet meals. The team members are great to work with and care about those around them.

      Cons

      Take-over by Novartis created a lot or reorganization, leadership disconnected from team members and looking to protect themselves, heavy turn-over all lead to lower morale.
