Most enjoyable part of my job is working with many diverse groups for a common goal.

-a assembly line job where we did the same thing everyday
-not to many changes

I loved working for this company. They provided excellent benefits from day one of hire, and provided job security and lots of over time. The hardest part of the job was making rate but I managed. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to work on your own. The Co-workers we're friendly and helpful and management was also great and helpful.

It is a good place to work. Need advancement or new position and more pay.

Although I have been laid off, I was very satisfied with the company. Every company has their own office politics, but I was always challenged by the job. Discovery in pharmaceuticals was very rewarding.

Around 6 years of experience in Validation Engineering / Quality Assurance with Pharmaceutical companies under FDA regulated environment.

Light Industrial, clean and safe environment. Have learned how to set up,run and maintain a wide range of machinery. Also work with a diverse group of people. Management does a poor job of communicating work flow assignments and sceduling. Also has become overly reliant on procedure, holding back devlopmnet of new products. Best part of this job, is – more... the wide range of machines and products to work on. Also the coworkers are friendly and help each other. The hard part of the job is maintaining old worn machinery in an environment of cost cutting above Quality of work. – less

great environment : worked a 9/80 week,listen to music,worked well with other employees, learned great communication skills,driving home was the hardest part of the day(traffic) great managment! easy to work with understanding work issues and complications when they arise and working with employees to correct problems.

Political environment, many experienced staff retired or layed-off. Still under assimilation to Novartis Corporate culture. Effective PowerPoint presentation skills a must.

Alcon is a good company with great benefits. They gave me an opportunity and I took full advantage of it. Overall, I would give Alcon a 4 out of 5 rating.

Alcon is a great company. The work culture is evolving to a fast paced, quality oriented, global medical device manufacturer. Talent and performance are essential attributes for aspiring applicants.
