Pros

Great products that customers want. Lots of great people work there

Cons

Very poor culture; lots of empty promises, terrible management and weak HR. When management changes, the culture shifts to suit this new « leader ». Lots of tenured people are replaced with their buddies from their former company. HR lets it all happen. Very demotivating, therefore the turnover rate in Canada is high.

Pros

Alcon offers great benefits and fair salary.

Cons

Review process is painful and tedious. If you work hard, they overwork you. Those that don't work hard seem to slide by and it is difficult process to let underperformers go.
