Alcon Australia

It used to be....Once upon a time ago.....Time to come back to the real world

 

for the most active discussion on the site things are quiet .... almost too quiet

maybe the previous post pretty much sums it all up and the thread can be locked?

 

Nah. The main whinger is on holidays.

 

Perhaps everyone is busy attending job interviews

 

J.G. graced you with his presence yet? He's quite the piece of work!

 

I doubt they would want him here. He would see the dysfunctional bozos in management

 

you really think it's just one, don't you? It's being so out of touch that leads me to suspect you are senior management...or you aspire to be

 

Just started reading this thread as i was approached by recruiter with a surgical key account manager role at Alcon
Is this a new position?
There doesnt seem anything positive on here about surgical so might let it pass - thoughts

 

It is a revived position. I think you will find this blog is like any other - Only negatives get posted. The position would be a good one and Alcon Surgical is the leader in the industry with many great new innovative products and a great deal of market support.
Good luck, hopefully some new talent will come in rather than recycling what we already have

 

"Only negatives get posted" - can you list just three positives? I honestly can't even think of one

 

Be happy with what you get !!!

 

Uhmmm....There is a good sandwich place just down the road

 

This place has stax of Angry people.

 

six lasers in the past year sold into the Aust/NZ market.....All from the same competitor who is eating our lunch on IOL MS. Plus another from AMO....Seven we didn't get.
Given the long sales cycle for such equipment the excuse of "but i'm now NSM" doesn't hold....So, who is accountable then? Protected species.

 

I was asked to interview for a sales analyst role at Alcon Australia - is it worth it or stay clear?

 

It's a good role....Alcon is a very solid company and great work conditions. I'd definitely recommend you interview and see for yourself if you fit

 

You are so clever....I'm glad I didn't take your bet

 

WTF??
Alcon Australia accounts for what? about 3% of our global $$ sales and Maybe 200 employees
Yet is the subject is by far the most active regarding the company globally !

 

Yes, Australians aren't so easy to brainwash as people in the USA

 

Perhaps that's why a certain someone isn't moving into the bigger office...along with the other obvious reasons. BE will do well for surgical, bring in some fresh ideas and a new approach whereas you know who hasn't improved anything so nothing would have changed
