Great mission based company!

Pros

Great mission based company, it's a very exciting and inspiring place to work. The work life balance is great, very flexible (they trust you to do your work, no micromanaging). Good benefits: health insurance is great, commuter credits and free lunch/fully stocked kitchen are also a nice perk

Cons

No retirement contribution/match and no gym membership reimbursement (though there is a run club!)

Pros

Great people, great mission, great culture. Dog-friendly. Excellent snacks! Color is a uniquely awesome company with nothing but potential in years to come.

Cons

Construction around SFO is making the commute kind of annoying these days, but that will end (someday).

Pros

This is not your typical tech startup. You're working with a stellar team to bring together healthcare, technology, data science, and biology to make a positive impact on health and help advance the field of genetics. The combination of all these disciplines in one company makes your work intellectually challenging and so much fun. Color is a great place to learn. We have a great balance of different experience levels, including some incredibly bright and experienced senior people that are here because they care. People are incredibly smart, humble, collaborative, and each of us brings their own unique perspective on the world, whether this is your first job or you bring decades of experience. The company has a strong leadership team that embodies strong values and principles, communicates well, and cares deeply about the team. It takes a village.

Cons

Health tech and the field of genomics can be daunting at first, but the team is very inclusive and is doing a great job of onboarding new people.
