Pros

The technology is amazing and can revolutionize the way cancer and disease are monitored. Representing a gold-standard diagnostic in its space was stimulating. The talent and intellect of the colleagues I worked with is unmatched. Pay was competitive. Beautiful, modern headquarters.

Cons

Lack of a proactive vision for the company. Repeated layoffs, which were worsened by tone-deaf responses from senior leadership. One example is executives' praising each other for their vision and leadership during a company-wide call the same day as the largest layoff of the year. The company's greatest asset, its human capital, is squandered - whether underutilized entirely, overworked due to RIFs without concomitant reductions in projects/duties, or shortsightedly laid off. Layoffs and subsequent turnover (as those left behind flee for better opportunities) creates a culture of chaos and instability. When senior leaders receive negative feedback, it is either dismissed as unimportant or unacknowledged entirely. Take the overall Glassdoor review rating with a grain of salt, and review the reviews. Many of the recent positive reviews are obviously fake/bots/offshore.

Pros

Fast paced, innovative, collaborative and flexible

Cons

In transitional years - very much a company that is a maturing start up and running into those predictable barriers that come with that growth.

Pros

Good pay, generous benefits, additional employee welfare options

Cons

The whole department was removed due to company going under. This was within 4 months of employment. I was able to get another job soon but wished they never hired if they were going to cut the workforce by 40%. After that, the company had multiple rounds of layoffs. Very unstable company.
