Edwards has a very good work/ life culture. They expect you to work hard and accomplish your goals while also maintaining a stable life. They encourage interns to meet other employees and interact with different departments to gain knowledge of the company as a whole. Everyone was very friendly and management was very good!
What I wish was different
There were a few down periods with no work due to internal control audit schedules which lead me to work on smaller projects until there was more evidence for auditing.
Advice
Work hard and you will be rewarded by management.

Operations Integration Intern
July - September 2017 • Irvine, CA
What I liked
The company has a great culture and good people to work with. They want to say yes to you and give your ideas a chance. I had the opportunity to perform a number of interesting tasks and learned a lot. The higher-level leadership took time to speak to interns and give them advice, which was neat. Great pay and experience.
What I wish was different
It took a few days for them to get me settled in with my laptop and necessary equipment, so I wish that could have gone faster to begin doing meaningful work sooner. The initial training was a bit hard to digest, as it consisted of several long generic procedure documents.
Advice
Put yourself out there and ask questions and try applying yourself to different projects!

Manufacturing Intern
May - August 2019 • Draper, UT
What I liked
Great company culture, cutting edge products in their field, and they take great care of their employee's. My favorite part was the ownership of large scale projects that I was able to drive.
What I wish was different
They do not have a real R&D presence in UT.
Advice
Reach out to people you know that have or do work here--they don't actively recruit at BYU.

R&D Engineering Intern
June - August 2019 • Irvine, CA
What I liked
I liked that they had a lot of interns: 140 for the summer because they had good intern networking events and were well prepared for them. There was a lot of real engineering work in my department, which was really helpful to learn a lot about that.
What I wish was different
My own department was a little disorganized, but it wasn't too bad.
Advice
This is a great company to work for, it definitely highly depends on what department you are in though. Some departments are more focused on engineering work.

Advice
Edwards looks for leadership experience in the application process - as much as technical aptitude, share your leadership and team-working ability.
