Business Outlook
Pros
The benefits are decent. Onsite gym and cafeteria. Money is no object on R&D projects. Captive molding and assembly operations.
Cons
Not long ago the CEO of Alcon sent out an email highlighting a new perquisite for employees that basically entitled employees to work half days on Friday without taking PTO during the summer. The only caveat being you had to put your time in throughout the week. The immediate next day local senior management revoked the new perk. Good job and way to boost employee morale. With all that, communication isn't exactly stellar. Large talent pool with a lot of egos. Under performers can hide in this org for years. Maybe that's a perk?... Time keepers keep you on a tight leash.
