Do your research before accepting an offer - Anonymous employee Natera Employee Review

Management is easily the biggest problem at this company. Managers are very good at completing projects, but terribly awful at actually managing the people. Most of the managers here would never be a manager at any other company. Most managers are in their positions because they have been with the company so long. I can go on and on about how bad the management is here, but you can just read through all the other reviews. They are all pretty much spot on. Pay is not competitive at all and most offers are below industry standard. It feels like this company prides themselves on offering the "bare minimum" pay. Do your research on what the industry standard is because your offer will definitely be under that. Job titles are completely misconstrued as well. No one really knows what is required to move on to the next job tier (Level I vs Level II). Apparently, this is the job of HR to standardize. I would not trust the HR here because at one point from 2015-2016, both HR and Recruiting underwent extreme turnover. HR even asked employees to leave positive glassdoor reviews to assist the recruiting team recruit. The company wide turnover rate is also very scary, but is treated as a normal occurrence. This is definitely a place where it is quantity is preferred over quality. Why hire one superstar employee when you can get two mediocre ones for the same salary? Employee retention is the biggest challenge because competing companies will pay for quality employees, but Natera won't. So all the best employees leave and never look back. With all the turnover, the only constant is that the management team is the same team since the start. Pretty obvious sign where the problems lie. There needs to be a company wide shake up starting at the very top with a big culture change. Unhappy employees will create a negative atmosphere.
