Pros

When it was Alcon - it was a "family" company that cared about its employees and trained us to care about our employer and we did great successful work and made the company grow caused we loved it and cared about each other and wanted all to succeed.

Cons

Now, that it is owned and run by Novartis, it is an awful disorganized low morale unhappy-employees place to work. Those still working there just need the income and the benefits and don't want to have to try to find a new job. Novartis is just simply NOT a company to work for. They have ruined the wonderful Alcon I used to work for.
