Overall good place to work - Senior Engineer I Alcon Employee Review

Bureaucracy makes implementing improvements and driving success near impossible. Severe understaffing forces employees to cover responsibilities for 2 or more jobs (above mentioned bureaucracy constrains the hiring process). Since Novartis takeover in 2011, the pharma mentality has been inappropriately applied to a med device space resulting in restraints in creatively solving problems and overall driving down the success and morale of the business.
