Great technology, unfair leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Engineers are brilliant. Technology is truly amazing.

Cons

Be very cautious joining this organization as a contractor. Clinical operations is poorly managed. The managers base your review off of heresay. As a contractor, you will be excluded and even told to avoid entering common area rooms. Merit is not taken in account and they want to hire drone bees. You will be punished for critical thinking and being outspoken. Please research GRAIL employee lawsuits.
