Pros

I enjoyed the majority of my time working at Alcon. They offered good opportunities to learn on the job, provided decent salaries and more recently an improved work/life balance through, for example, flexi-time.

Cons

Now becoming a fully integrated division of Novartis, the work location needs to be carefully considered - some facilities are likely no longer a part of the longer-term strategy and significant numbers of positions are being moved to lower cost locations.

Stable company with people that want to make a difference. Great place to learn about manufacturing practices.

No clear job roles and the company tries to squeeze work out of lower level engineers.
