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.
