Pros

Good benefits, good bonus structure, work family balance, flexible hours whenever possible. Good outplacement services given to all affected with the moving of positions to Texas (Fort Worth, ALCON headquarters). Acceptable severance package for those who were affected with the move or were asked to leave.

Cons

Everything was OK till Alcon acquisition. Transparency in information and fairness promised but did not appear to be implemented when the time came. "Accept what we (Alcon) give you or you can leave"
