Technology is great, but management is horrible.

Pros

The technology is game changing for cancer detection.

Cons

As good as the technology is, upper management is beyond horrible. The greed, narcissism and nepotism is unlike anything you can imagine. A few example of the management team's expertise: A) the ELT (executive leadership team) has finished bottom of the barrel in team rankings twice in the last three years, and it would be 3 in a row but HR won't release last year's survey results. To make matters worse, HR instituted "manager development" to teach us all a lesson, but of course the ELT did not attend the sessions B) Google "Grail pending lawsuits/litigation" and you'll see ELT members prominently mentioned C) Check out the VP's at Grail, who have had no people management experience in their careers, but suddenly are now 2 and 3rd line leaders, without training. Imagine working for those folks......
