      Most satisfying job I've ever had

      Pros

      - Amazing team. It is so cool to work with people from so many different backgrounds--engineers, designers, sales, genetic counselors, researchers, etc. I learn so much from them. - Very supportive. I'm encouraged to try new things and develop new skills. - I am given a lot of autonomy. You can't abuse it, but I am definitely not micromanaged. - I am part of a team that is saving lives. Color's mission to democratize access to genetic testing is allowing people to access care they wouldn't have otherwise been able to.

      Cons

      - Location isn't the most convenient and we don't have enough much of a work from home culture. - Could use more diverse snacks

      Best genomics option in the bay area by a margin

      Pros

      - Experienced and diverse team. Top-notch performers in the lab, design, engineering, business, and operations teams. - The mission of making genetics accessible to everyone, for example to reduce the impact of cancer, is incredible. - Founders combine software, biology, and operational excellence. Between them there's experience in medical pathology, bioinformatics engineering, cancer biology, running large-scale products at Google and Twitter, starting successful companies in the past, investing in and advising to top silicon valley companies (Stipe, Airbnb, Pinterest), and so on. - Everyone is humble. No power plays, no politics, no hidden information. Great culture of openness. - Good work-life balance (part of having an experienced team). Long hours are very uncommon. Effective hours are very common. - State of art technology in the genomics space. - Financial prospects look great.

      Cons

      - Location is not great, kind of stuck in a place that's not quite SF but not quite south bay, so everyone has a commute. Somewhat inflexible on remote work opportunities.
