Pros

In general, the people I worked with were amazing! They truly love the company and what Alcon stands for. The people were the best part of the job.

Cons

There is a complete disconnect between Executive and high level leadership and the people who actually do the work. Executives make promises that aren't actually attainable, or they set up redundant programs to check boxes off and say that things have been done. With restructuring and high turnover, we were still expected to keep up with the same quantity and quality of work.
