Pros

Alcon's Co-op program is an excellent early-career opportunity. Pay is satisfactory considering co-ops do not yet have degrees. Was exposed to a lot of aspects of the job.

Cons

Very corporate atmosphere, meaning lots of meetings and not a lot of action. Little turnover from co-ops to full-time positions as they basically only hire senior engineers.

Pros

Stable company with people that want to make a difference. Great place to learn about manufacturing practices.

Cons

No clear job roles and the company tries to squeeze work out of lower level engineers.
