Pros
Innovative product with a highly dedicated team. Individual contributors and employees closest to the work throughout the organization are passionate, hardworking, and genuinely care about delivering positive outcomes for patients and physicians. The Aliso Viejo location is also a great place to work and is well-positioned within the ophthalmology industry.
Kontras
Leadership has become increasingly disconnected from the ophthalmology space, with many senior leaders lacking direct industry experience. The company has experienced frequent organizational changes, which have created uncertainty and made it difficult for teams to maintain focus and momentum. There is limited representation of women in executive leadership, and the company culture has become increasingly challenging, with low morale, frequent negativity, and concerns around how employees are treated. Employees have also experienced significant declines in the company's stock value, which has reduced the value of equity compensation and impacted confidence in the company's direction.
