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.

Pros

- stability - stock options - growth (depending on your manager)

Cons

Glaukos has all these missions statements saying that they promote growth and diversity, but in reality that is far from the truth. Office politics and HR blocks people from advancing in their careers just to take advantage of their workers. A company with millions of dollars in the bank refuses to take care of their employees with fair promotions and compensation. You can only thrive here if you are in management.
