If you are starting out - this would be a great place to get corporate training, as long as you don't mind the hours. - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Alcon

Pluspunten

I must say that CIBA has a great benefits package, especially if you or your dependents are contact lens wearers. They also have an above average 401k matching program.

Minpunten

Extremely long hours and no work/life balance opportunities. I say long hours because in Accounting/Finance - you can work 50+ hours over 3 days during month end close. Depending on the position, you may be expected to take your laptop with you during vacation and everyone in management has your cell number in case there is a question during month end close. Thankfully my latest call was at 11:30 pm at home, on a Saturday evening. My co-worker was requested to call me at that time to assist with a project. This was not during month end close.

Minpunten

Working here makes me want to unalive myself daily. It's a typical corporate environment with lots of rules and processes that do nothing for efficiency or production and are only applied to women, minorities, or high performers that carry the team but don't have the right anatomy, look, or last name for promotions and growth. But don't worry, if you have a family connection and absolutely no skills or intellect and like to schmooze but hate work you'll probably get promoted often and rapidly. Working here over the last several years has truly drained any previous ambition I entered the workplace with. The lack of work life balance and low pay contributes to a slow descent into a sloth like existence because I can no longer afford to do outside activities and barely pay my bills, and when I do have free time it's typically interrupted by some arbitrary coworker crash out over a minor inconvenience. I find myself taking on bad health habits to make it end sooner and because you'll need to conform to being chained to your desk and sitting at your desk at least 8 hours of the day to last. bathroom breaks-ha who needs those!
