Avantages
Alcon was one of the premier Eye care company. Most employees had worked for the company for a number of years. As happens when you are successful the company was bought by a larger company. Most everyone that was part of what made Alcon the company that it was is gone. The new company culture is very different and it will take time to see if the change will be a positive move for the company. Company executives made a lot of money in the transaction.
Inconvénients
After recent acquisition the company has been gutted. It is unclear what will come out of the ashes. Many thousands lost jobs in the merger and many have left on their own. The company is rebuilding and for the right skill set there may be opportunities to be part of the rebuild.
