Pros

Able to gain a lot of "hands on" experience in OPS. Able to transfer to different departments to learn new techniques. An onsite gym available for exercise enthusiasts. Catering available three times weekly for those working 8AM-5PM and once weekly for the folks working Swing/Grave. Scheduling based on seniority so the longer you stay, the better the schedule you can get.

Cons

Just read all the reviews that others have left. I can't disagree with a single thing I've read. This entire company is founded on unqualified people being promoted simply because they've cozied up with upper management. Raises are minimal because the attitude of management is that "they can hire any new grad to do the same work and get paid less" - sadly employees, their experience, and dedication to the company is not valued or appreciated.

Pros

Interesting technology, lots of very smart people, free lunch.

Cons

Dysfunctional organization. Constantly in fire fighting mode due to lack of planning. Executives manage by threatening and bullying, especially the CEO.

Pros

Natera has a great mission and lots of potential, the company is growing and the employees are dedicated and great to work with

Cons

Management is wildly disorganized and unreliable. As an employee you are pushed too hard, micromanaged, and underpaid.
