Pros

Once upon a time there used to be quality technical people at Alcon. Seems like all the best employees are gone with only the few that can't find jobs anywhere else. I got the best severance package ever!!! LOL!!!

Cons

Alcon is now run by greedy Novartis execs and is destroying the morale of the company with massive layoffs every year! Get a clue Novartis! Stop destroying Alcon!!
