Pros

Great people, many new things to learn, free lunches 3 times a week, happy hours, OK benefits, NGS-based technology. Definitely a great place to start your industry career.

Cons

A very high turnover rate because people feel unvalued and unappreciated by the company and very often by the managers as well. High level managers and executives have very little or no experience anywhere else except Natera. Even a small thing requires a lot of effort to get done. Way too much politics to deal with, and you must watch your back at all times.

Pros

Benefits, pay, and catered lunch orders every shift. Company currently growing and seeking to expand its operations. Will learn plenty in lab with the training--opened my eyes to how biotech industry can work with this being my first professional role.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with less consideration for slower coworkers, coworkers that felt cliquey, and management that seemed distant and unapproachable. Getting along with coworkers was the toughest part for me. Some coworkers seemed unapproachable. Had trouble feeling a sense of belonging on the team with seemingly constant critique about my performance with very little mentioning of people seeing improvement.
