Pros

Competitive salary and bonus. Get your voice hear via coffee with senior management team meeting. Lesson and Learn after projects launch. Surgical instrumentations involve many engineering discipline, mechanical, electrical, electronic, software, quality, etc.

Cons

Used to be at the leading edge, Alcon was well known with the PTC community. Lots of politics. IT took over the MCAD group but doesn't know anything about CAD. Too many SOPs to satisfy FDA audits. CAD designers are many and under train.
