Pros

Alcon had many great people, good benefits and flexible work schedule.

Cons

Employees constantly worried about being laid-off due to Novartis's never-ending "re-organization". The environment changed drastically and Alcon was no longer an employee-friendly company. Novartis was all about the bottom line & adjusting head-count. Employees were expected to do the work of 2-3 people. The stress was overwhelming.
