Unethical and a train wreck of a company

Pros

Great products that have the potential to be life savers.

Cons

Upper leadership starting at the very top are very unethical. They aren't about patients, they're about money. They treat their salespeople one step above garbage.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great products. Lots of potential to help patients.

Cons

The culture has changed dramatically since the new people leader started. There is a reason why great people have left and will continue to leave.

Growing pains. Best in Class Product

Business Outlook

Pros

Liquid biopsy is the future of cancer early detection and we have the best product out there. The technical leadership and team are smart and capable.

Cons

A couple of the G&A functions are a mess. Beware if you are going to work with HR. They have the highest turnover and everyone is going out on leave all the time. You probably won't be working with the same person you worked with before.
