Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Alcon full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Sense of purpose, make a difference for the better to patients, employees and the world
Cons
Indian dominated IT, vastly inefficient, pushing work to each other, nothing gets done, nothing works properly
Advice to Management
Focus on getting work done, not talking about it endlessly and accomplishing nothing. When people point out problems, resolve the issues rather than punishing those that have the courage to speak up and promoting people that do not show up to work. Promote from within the people that have the experience and drive to make the company better rather than outsiders hopping job to job, telling the management what they want to hear and leaving the place worse than when they came.
