Pros

free parking. decent snacks ,some smart/nice people

Cons

Executive team is a disaster. The CEO, while brilliant, has a style that can best be described as MBS(management by screaming). The office lacks a professionalism that it desperately needs. Company is solving an interesting problem, but given the chaos that reigns,it's hard to be optimistic about the company

Pros

Great environment to work in with very supportive management and coworkers. Free catering every other day.

Cons

Most employees start as a CDO and enter the company there and try to work their way up into another position, however it is fairly difficult to move up. Many CDOs I have worked with have been in the same position for years and have not been considered, thus there is a high turn over rate for employees. The work is very long and tedious and calls for additional hours of overtime at the end of everyday. Due to the company growing there is more more work for the accessioning/CDOs department to do and unfortunately there is only one shift and all work for the day must be finished. This forces many CDOs to overwork more often than not. This department also has very strict rules that do not allow much flexibility. No work life balance.

Pros

Being a part of new technology and medicine year after year Contributing to the field of the Genetics for personal medicine Knowing that Natera's products matter to families and doctors Being a part of advancing Women's Reproductive health CEO has a passionate vision that is about helping the world and making the world's best science Many contributing co-workers share in and feel that passion for their work at Natera My team was the best I've ever worked with, great/smart people Everyone at Natera works hard, no one is slacking

Cons

HR dept is a revolving door Some executive management lacks enough experience for their job Natera=Nepotism Management needs training on fundamentals of motivating vs de-motivating tactics in the company Work life balance is a constant battle For a women's health care company wanting to dominate a women's health care market, where are the Executive Leadership women at Natera? More women in these roles would set it apart from the biotech/Silicon Valley culture. The majority of executive management operates on a 16 year old teenage Emotional Intelligence index.
