This works well in the company

At STAAR, you have many opportunities for further training. The internal trainings to get to know other departments are very interesting. Communication between supervisors and employees is also very good. There is a good working atmosphere and the working conditions are good. Home office is also offered wherever possible.

This could be improved

In general, I am very satisfied with STAAR as an employer. I can't say anything negative.

This works well in the company

Very international and multicultural environment, flexible working hours and possibility to work from home, support for further educations, motivated/dedicated colleagues and familiar atmosphere, regular company meetings with a lot of information, free coffee/drinks and fruits, really nice and thoughtful gifts (e.g. for Birthdays, Christmas, etc.), free parking spaces for employees.

This could be improved

So far, STAAR was a very great place to work! I couldn't identify any potential improvements during my now 12 months in the company.

This works well in the company

Invitations for the interviews are clear and well organized.

This could be improved

Make candidate more comfortable during the interview. The interview feels more like interrogation. Comunication with candidate should be much better during the interview, since candidate is often misunderstood. The application end process should be more personalized, especially when application process ends with no hiring outcome.

STAAR Surgical is a fast-growing company and quality employer. Employees have the space to grow and working in an international environment makes the daily business very interesting. The flexible workhours and home office opportunity provides me a healthy work-life-balance, which I personally really appreciate! Colleagues and managers are always helpful and caring. I am so convinced of our product EVO Visian ICL myself and I really want to get my eye-surgery soon, so I can say I have Visual Freedom! Thank You STAAR!

This could be improved

More opportunities (events) to meet colleagues, even I know this is difficult during the pandemic situation! Integration of digital technology into all areas can be pushed, even we are all already working hard on this!

No feedback on this, I couldn’t experience anything nicely working during the application.

This could be improved

Be more flexible when setting appointments and understanding that applicants who already have a jobs might have questions or requires to set other meeting date.

This works well in the company

A great company to work for if you want to experience working in an international environment surrounded by many languages and open minded people and management. Competitive salaries, brand new (and more on the way) working spaces, and a bright future, this is a fantastic place to work.

This could be improved

Although opportunity for advancement has been limited in the past, with the growth the company is experiencing, this will change.
