      Pros

      Beautiful campus Currently good medical plan, God knows when it will be changed as Novartis has acquired Alcon Currently good retirement plan, God knows when it will be changed as Novartis has acquired Alcon

      Cons

      - Need to have 360 perfromance review. Poor leadership in Business Intelligence/Data Warehouse group. Managment needs to show how to motivate, trust and respect their own employees instead of hiring consultants in their line management from outside who don't have real industry experience and also inturn hire their friends. - Look at the turn over rate of even contractors who come and go in a short period. Does anyone checks in HR the line manager and his tram is capable of hiring right contractor. - Management should stop hiring line management who are their ponies and don't have their own say how to execute their functinal. - Management has favorites who they promote. One thing is clear that RELATIONSHIP counts in the this company and group. (Have good relationship with your manager/director and abuse anyone in the organization.)
