Massive decline in work culture

Pros

Good core product and exciting opportunity in the DNA testing space.

Cons

No stock options for regular employees, only higher ups. Destruction of work life balance under new CTO's regime. CTO only talks in general platitudes and doesn't sound up to date on the latest technological advancements. Bloated management with unnecessary positions created by the CTO to bring in his people. Utter lack of empathy towards employees, only demands for more, more and more output faster than ever. Rude, arrogant behavior from some of the managers from the CTO's crew.
