Bausch + Lomb Employer Reviews

Company is mired in infrastructure problems and now wants to go public. They do not value the work experience of their employees and spend too much time in meetings. No one really wants to get the work done - just talk about it - forever and forever . . .

I interacted with various cross-functional departments as well as ad agencies to develop and produce marketing material.

It was a friendly environment with coworkers willing to teach me. I had marketing experience but lacked experience in medical devices. The team was very helpful to educate me on this.

The hardest part was being familiar with the – more... medical devices industry as well as eye health. However, the available resources made it an easy transition.

The people made it a great job. – less

Havn't been there in a while so it would be unfair to write about it.

Not loyal. So much reorganization that you get cut out of bonuses because they realign and all of your hard work sends someone else to platinum that didn't even earn the business. Extremely frustrating position with old products. Micro-management is INTENSE.

Overall B+L is a good place to work. The culture is of older individuals and not ideal for those younger people (30 and below). Comp and benefits are ok but advancement takes a long time, so you will be at the same level for a while. If you are willing to put in many years you can eventually work your way up.

Do what they say or else and no loyalty from management to worker.

I would rate the company low compared to competitors and other large corporations. Benefits are really expensive. They took away summer hours and offer no flex time. Overall office has a low morale. Working with the corporate office in Rochester, NY makes your everyday responsibilities more difficult due to their inflexibility. Most employees in the – more... corporate office have been with the company for 20+ years and are not open to change. – less

I started in the Surgical unit of the R&D group testing the B+L Intra-ocular lenses. There was a changing of the guard with younger directors replacing an out-going group. I got caught up in this power struggle which resulted in all my accomplishments being credited to subordinates while I got reprimanded. Even though they might be a younger team now, – more... my suggestion for any candidate is to go in, work hard, compromise when you have to and hold no political affiliations. I know this will be considered speaking ill of my past employer but I've sure seen my fair share of professional backstabbing for ill gotten credit. – less

The people are great to work with and the atmosphere for the most part is comfortable. Benefits and pay are above normal. Management can be out of touch in some areas.
