Pros

Alcon is a leader in number of Ophthalmology products. Was very stable company until sold to Novartis. There may be opportunities here in the future, it is not clear what Novartis's commitment is to the area is going to be.

Cons

Alcon is currently working thru a larger merger with a Larger company. Employment is very unstable until this is worked out. There have been and will be large cuts at the Fort Worth site as the winners and losers are sorted out. Consider any offer here very carefully.

Pros

The company has lots of perks and benefits and competitive compensation.

Cons

The culture has suffered significantly and there is a lack of support and commitment to the procurement function. The current morale is low with most people strategizing an exit plan.
