Pros

Exceptionally skilled workers at all levels. Excellent Fort Worth Campus. Great benefits and 401k match.

Cons

Limited career opportunities. Recent layoffs let go many good workers merely for "cost containment." Former Alcon culture is being eroded by Novartis micromanaging and reorganization.
