Pros

Roche keeps pumping money into the nanopore sequencer project.

Cons

Nanopore sequencing project in Santa Clara is the most Machiavellian company culture I have ever come across in my career. People constantly bad-mouthing each other behind their backs. No teamwork or cooperation between groups because they are all too busy pointing fingers at each other to actually solve problems that plague the platform. Any new employees that attempt to break through this culture get punished and end up living out the five monkeys experiment.

Pros

The benefits are good so far just like any other company

Cons

Terrible managers Employees are getting away with traveling without using PTO when they are on EDO because they are friends with managers. This raises concerns regarding fairness, policy compliance, and equitable treatment of employees. If the manager dont like you, Your life will be hell and they will find the stupidest mistakes to kick you out. Again, some people get away of not using their pto and they will travel and claim they are working while manager is okay with it. Bunch of hypocrites
