Pros

I worked for Alcon in Sydney on a 6-month contract. It was a lovely company to work for, quite a relaxed and friendly working environment the salary was excellent especially considering I only had 1 year work experience and there were plenty of opportunities to advance or move positions internally.

Cons

I was in the country on 12-month working holiday Visa and as such could only work in any one company for 6 months. As they only sponsor senior positions I was not eligible to stay.

Pros

The only thing good is the benefits

Cons

Co workers are mean. Supervisors are always on your case. Too much favoritism. The workers are the ones the company comes down on. The slackers get all the attention.
