Pros
Great benefits. Most of the management wants to help you improve. They pay for your college. I'm excited about the Alcon spinoff of Novartis
Cons
Novartis buying Alcon only hurt the company
Starting off as a contractor can be rough, but once your foot is in the door the opportunities open up.Advice to Management
Avoid micromanaging employees

Pros
The people that I worked with as peers are great. Some of my best friends I met while working there. Building products that help improve other people's lives is a great motivator. Good benefits and outstanding 401K match
Cons
Too much politics and bureaucracy. A large medical device company is just too big of a ship to move when change is needed. Management showed no care or remorse for the employees as people, just treated us like a cog in the machine.
Advice to Management
Get off your high horse and treat the people with respect. Just because you are in a management role, does not make you a better person than the employees doing the every day hard work.
