Pros

The best part is that I knew more than most of my leaders and how to make it successful commercially and was able to do so.

Cons

They did not care, did not appreciate sales success. Prefer to be an r&d company and believe commercial growth reflects poorly on their image. Too much arrogance behind their PhD and MD titles that even their own customers rolled their eyes at them behind their backs.

Pros

Company has gone through a leadership transition that has been handled very well by all parties involved. Co-founders and new CEO are using their talents and skills for the betterment of the company. The culture envisioned by the early members of the company is being maintained while the company is in the process of scaling. Karius is one of the few healthcare companies that makes products to help patients back to health and cares about its employees at the same time. Many healthcare companies treat sick people but don't care about their employees, only shareholder return on investment. The technology is on the frontier of diagnostics, and the company has a loyal and expanding hospital base. The company is well funded and its Board is engaged and enlisted in the success of the organization. At present, fully paid medical, dental, and vision benefits. Above industry average compensation for employees who can obtain medical without enrolling in the Karius plan.

Cons

New medical technologies that challenge the Standard of Care are not for everyone. People need to know how to produce and re-create simultaneously. Sometimes there are too many good ideas and the company needs to focus on those that are great ideas. The dental benefit is below industry average, while every other part of the medical plan is at or above industry average.

Thanks for the great review, we are proud of our company and the culture that we are trying to foster as we continue to scale. We may have added a few new leaders to our dynamic team but our mission of putting the patient first continues to be our biggest priority. Employee satisfaction is another priority for Karius, we want to provide a positive workforce with amazing perks such as career development, professional coaching platform, 100% employer paid health benefits, 401(k), flexible time off and many more programs. As we grow, we will continue to review the benefits programs and adjust as needed. Your feedback is valuable to us, feel free to reach out to HR if you have any additional comments.
