Pros

Pay & Career Advancement Opportunities Highly recommend if you would like to be miserable for your career!

Cons

Not sure I've ever worked in a more hostile work environment across the board. Constant layoffs so Natera can get "Cash Flow Positive" by EOY 2023. "Changing the Way Disease is Managed" but not before we appease our NYSE Shareholders by cutting 250+ employees, artificially raising our stock price by increasing Net Profit from layoffs then management wonders why people quit caring. They don't care about you or the patients that they serve. Back to the hostile work environment, the oncology division is home to the most toxic, unprofessional snobs I've ever worked with. From division president to Area Directors, you will find the most entitled, self-centered & absorbed people you've ever worked for. If you were spared in the layoffs from other business units, prepare to be punished, ethically degraded & drug through the dirt over something you had no control over. They will make your life a living purgatory until you resign or they ultimately lay you off. All current employees are just awaiting the next round of layoffs, but they said there won't be another round (Like they said 3 months ago). Also, good luck if you are a new hire. Multiple associate representatives I knew were LET GO AFTER THREE TO FOUR MONTHS. THEY DIDNT EVEN FINISH TRAINING,LEFT GREAT JOBS AND GOT LET GO SO NATERA CAN NET POSITIVE CASH FLOW. HORRIFFIC BUSINESS ETHICS THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. Oncology business unit is full of toddlers, adult children & everything is a massive contest. Managers bragging about what they make, sharing other reps commissions, shaming of other employees with horriffic language, constant micromanagement & check ins. Prepare to be bullied, stepped on, & treated like yesterdays trash. Multiple toxic managers, area directors, & regional directors (You know who you are). You have been warned.

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.
