Pros

Very laid back in terms of hours, vacation time, and remote work, compared to other small diagnostics companies

Cons

Company split down the middle between hard-working, focused people who put in an honest day's work, and people whose lack of professionalism is truly astonishing. Clashes between these factions abound. Behavior is routinely tolerated that never should be in a place of business. Right hand doesn't know what left hand is doing. Operationally, still running like a tiny six person start-up, but with 200 employees--rapid growth has not led to increased maturity of company. Company doesn't realize it's publicly traded. Poorly managed all around. Toxic work environment. You can do better in the Bay area.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We’re always keen to learn what’s on the minds and in the hearts of our past, current and future teammates. At Veracyte we strive to create an environment in which our team members see “work” as an integral, fulfilling and welcome part of their lives. Indeed, many team members tell us they view their being at Veracyte as almost a calling, related to our patient-centric mission. We believe high performance is based on commitment, accountability and execution. These attributes, and our passion for patients, are driving us to the goal of having three commercialized products by the end of this year – an aggressive goal for a genomic testing company that is only eight years old. Have there been operational bumps along the way? Of course. And there will continue to be from time to time as we evolve. After all, we are not just offering new tests; we are creating new markets as we use genomics to transform disease diagnosis so that patients who don’t need surgery can stay out of the operating room. Veracyte may not be the right place for everyone. However, our team has voted us a “Best Place to Work” for two years in a row. We wish you all the best on your path! -Vice President of Human Resources

Pros

I feel like the company genuinely cares about its people and patients. The work is fast-paced, rewarding, and the people who work here are incredibly smart and talented. Great benefits and competitive pay. Everyone here works hard but is fun and a genuinely nice person. The company is growing quickly and has a lot of potential, which is exciting to be a part of.

Cons

The company is growing quickly so sometimes there are growing pains, which is understandable.

Pros

- Benefits- especially PTO and Holidays. We have a very generous package. I hope it never changes. Human Resources do what they do and are very communicative and listen to your concerns. They interact professionally and actually help to improve those issues. Management takes time to help improve the workplace by communicating and implementing some changes. They have a very generous open door policy’s. Work life balance is awesomez

Cons

Implementation of workflows without prior communication. You know like a heads up.
