Pros
Features my team works on have a direct and measurable impact to patient experience. It is a great balance of hard work and high reward with good flexibility as a remote employee. We get to meet face to face twice a year on site which is also a nice change of pace and a good time to realign on upcoming projects. The benefits are first class and the equity options are potentially life changing. My impression is that most employees have a sense of honor for working at BillionToOne. I am optimistic about where the company will be in the future.
Cons
No startup is guaranteed (IPOs can be tough) but this one has all the right signs (i.e. care about smart business practices, valuing work culture, prizing customer experience, moving the needle in the industry etc.).
