Pros

I was able to learn a lot from my mentor (person who trained me once they got promoted) and my managers were great. There are a lot of young people and everyone (company wide) is pretty friendly and welcoming for the most part. The company wide events were great and it was nice to be able to volunteer with coworkers.

Cons

- There are a lot of narcissists in the clinical department. If you join, you'll know what I'm taking about. Upper management cares more about the bottom line than well being. They turn away if they see toxic behavior as long as they get the results they want. - HR is terrible. They will gaslight you and manipulate you all day. Especially if you are a person of color, they will pay you less than your white counterparts. They don't define what you need to grow and be promoted. I was there and found out people with less education and experience were making the same amount (if not more). - The diversity and inclusion is nonexistent. This is a very backwards company; could not even say black lives matter during 2020 but they have the audacity to say other things. It seems most of the executives are very conservative. Nothing wrong with that but TREAT PEOPLE FAIRLY. -There was no growth. Everyone tried to take short cuts and I saw no future here for me.

Pros

“Limited positives in my experience, though others may value the industry focus and pace of work.”

Cons

My experience at Glaukos highlighted significant concerns regarding management structure and organizational effectiveness, particularly within the analytics function. There appears to be an overconcentration of senior leadership, which can create silos and limit accountability. In some cases, this dynamic seems to prioritize internal alignment over operational efficiency and team development. Within analytics specifically, the environment can feel highly demanding without clear standards, processes, or strategic direction. This can lead to excessive workload, inconsistent expectations, and elevated stress levels for team members. Additionally, opportunities for constructive feedback and improvement may be limited, which can impact both morale and professional growth. Prospective candidates should carefully evaluate whether the current structure, leadership approach, and work environment align with their expectations and career goals—particularly if considering roles in analytics.
