Pros

Excellent management structure, and supportive environment. Working with experienced career professionals, with a bias to maturity.

Cons

Definite organisational silo structure. A lot of hidden pressure, I saw quite a few tears on stairwells!

Pros

- Strong focus on science - Excellent reputation with global government agencies - Best practices for sterile manufacturing

Cons

After almost 60 years, it is sad to see the beginnings of dismantling the Fort Worth Alcon headquarters. Many good people are being let go, roles being dissolved or outsourced, and productive veterans being shown the door. In the meantime, less people are being asked to do more work.
