Cons
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the tissue procurement procedures currently in place at Guardant Health. As a Tissue Procurement Specialist, I have encountered numerous issues that hinder the ability to effectively gather and process tissue samples. Firstly, the lack of adequate training provided to new employees is appalling. I was thrown into the role without proper guidance or support, resulting in countless errors and setbacks that could have easily been avoided with proper training. Additionally, the equipment provided for tissue procurement is outdated and often malfunctioning. This not only slows down the entire process but also jeopardizes the integrity of the samples we collect. Furthermore, the communication between departments is abysmal. There is a severe lack of coordination between the procurement team and other departments, leading to confusion, delays, and ultimately, compromised results. Overall, I am deeply disappointed with the subpar standards of tissue procurement at Guardant Health. If these issues are not addressed promptly, I fear that they will continue to negatively impact our ability to deliver quality results to potential clients.
