Pros

Paycheck. But I'm looking. Oh, and the product helps people. Hard to notice though when so much other crap is flung at the wall.

Cons

Just notice how many reviews are happening around the same time. I will tell you as someone that works here, I overheard the office bully (one of them) telling people to write positive reviews since so many people have left negative ones. That prompted me to write this warning: any company who doesn't care that people are truly dissatisfied and just want to cover it up with fluff should be avoided like the plague. If I had any time to look for another job, I would. But I'm working so many hellish hours for this place, I have no life. Look elsewhere if you want one.

It's true...we have asked employees to contribute honest reviews, but this does not mean they are fake or planted. People only tend to speak out when they are unhappy and, since the majority of employees are happy and feel fortunate to be at Natera, we would like them to have a voice too. However, as the new HR Manager, I am very concerned that you are unhappy. My door is always open...please come see me and we'll try to find a solution together that makes your career at Natera more fulfilling and enjoyable. If you, in fact, really don't want to be here anymore we can chat about how to juggle job searching and your daily responsibilities so that, either way, we are working together towards a happier you. I promise to keep your identity completely confidential. Our goal is to have a happy and engaged workforce, so please let me know how I can help. - Johanna

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.
