Pros

Test has unlimited potential; flexible PTO; great collaboration in regional teams

Cons

CEO has created a culture of fear and micro management in attempt to place blame for lack of Series C funding. Company would thrive with different leadership at the helm. Job has become more administrative work justifying our jobs rather than selling.

Thank you for your review and making the time to share your experience at Karius. I am very sorry to hear about your experience in the company. Our goal at Karius to ensure each employee has a great experience but also that it continues to get better. It does not sound like that has been the case for you and that is personally disappointing for me. Our hope is that our commercial team and all employees feel empowered to succeed in their roles everyday and that we provide tools, resources and support that allows them to excel more than they ever had before. Our teams come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences and providing them a work environment where they can be successful is very important, while leveraging their unique experiences and elevating our team as a result. Your feedback is critical and I would encourage you to reach out to your manager or our HR team so we can get more information, address it specifically and continue to get better as a company. Thank you again for sharing your experience, please know that the company take your feedback seriously and will continue to seek additional feedback from others to make sure we are addressing employee concerns and are headed in the right direction.

Pros

Karius has solid science behind it if applied correctly and in proper business and commercial setting.

Cons

Very high rate of employee turnover - both voluntary and involuntary and at senior management level. Morale and confidence in survival of the company are very low. The testing process at current scale is expensive, with commercial growth stalled. The market is tough due to lack of reimbursement, high price, and lack of signficiant utility for patient care. Money will be running out by January 2019 with no additional investments coming through despite frantic fundraising attempts.
