Pros

I was an intern at Alcon Surgical in Irvine. Everyone at every level of the company was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable of their field. Having access to their gym was a plus, and the cafeteria food is the cherry on top. Great company to work with.

Cons

The pay could be a bit higher to match with other intern pay rates.
