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

Lots of free snacks. Some truly talented people work here.

Cons

DEI is still being implemented like it is 2020. They have changed the name to D&I but the principals are the same. Meritocracy is treated with suspicion.
