Pros

My peers are smart, professional (mostly) and believe in the mission of the company. We wait and wait for leadership to communicate a transition plan from Novartis to Alcon stand alone. This event was a long time coming - at least 12 months. So why crickets? Why a deer in the headlights?

Cons

Crickets, see above. Nobody knows what they are supposed to be doing, what their role is, nor the role of anyone else. It is amazing any company can maintain operations under these circumstances. There is no transition plan, or a current and go forward plan for any one thing.

Pros

Stable company with people that want to make a difference. Great place to learn about manufacturing practices.

Cons

No clear job roles and the company tries to squeeze work out of lower level engineers.
