      Pros

      If you want to gain experience in cell free DNA tests this may be the place. Great way to experience how not to run a company. If you're lucky you may report to an executive who will provide examples of how not to be a leader on a daily basis.

      Cons

      Turnover is higher here than anywhere in the Bay Area. That's because literally any other job is better than working here. Except maybe Theranos.... CEO doesn't have the skills to lead a company this size. He has created a caustic unproductive environment that is reflected in his top trusted leaders' behavior. All competent and experienced leaders have already abandoned ship. You won't be trusted to do your job. Even if you have years of experience, someone with a Stanford MBA and absolutely no experience doing what you do will know how to do your job better. And you will be reminded of that on a daily basis. You won't learn much here other than that you aren't smart and your leaders are.

      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.
