Pros

I loved the celebration yesterday. We learned why purple is GRAIL's color - honoring the wife of one of our founders and others who passed from cancer. We took time to support those in their cancer journey, both in person and remote. As we enter this new Era of GRAIL there is so much excitement from the team on all the great things that are happening.

Cons

Sometimes to many meetings which makes it difficult to get work done but they are working on that
