Pros

An innovative company and industry leader. Essilor combines engineering, design and operational expertise to constantly bring innovation to eyeglass lenses. Doing so allows optometrists to bring the most value to their patients. There products truly protect patients eyes while helping them see better.

Cons

The organization is run with very tight margins thus workload is very high. Better systems and automation could improve work life balance. Rapid expansion is driving growth but make it challenging to integrate many cultures into the organization

Pros

Great company, great people until they made changes in IT Leadership that have hurt the company and the reputation externally

Cons

No Diversity No Transparency Good old boy network from Broadlane Laid off valuable employees who were very qualified for "new" roles that are simply being repacked Best Place to Work in Dallas rating did not have many diverse employees participate from IT. Afraid of retaliation if they told the truth

Pros

Some really great and smart people in the field, especially on the Partner lab side. Getting better processes in lace to be more efficient.

Cons

Outsourcing strategy has shrunk the organization and in turn Essilor has lost some very good outside leaders. Making 50% + of the glasses in Mexico has and will damage what little brand recognition there is and turn the independent eye care professional against the company.
