Pros

There are no pros. I liked some of the employees i worked with. Very smart.

Cons

I couldn't make it through 3 months and i left the company because of culture clash. This company has serious issues. Everyone is working to cover up their . Unqualified managers/directors who have no idea how to manage employees. They throw dirt at each other when it comes to blaming someone for a screw up.

Pros

A mission and technology that still has heart.

Cons

Look at the pictures of the happy people in the banner photo. Look at the happy employee testimonials on the website, and the promo video. A majority of those people no longer work here. When good people leave a company, when people who have been with a company since the beginning before the huge growth leave a company, what does it say? If you go to interview here, ask everyone about the attrition and you'll find no one can give you a good answer. If they tell you that these people "couldn't cut it", ask why and what that means. Ask what qualities you need so you can "cut it". You won't get any good answers. I don't feel valued here, and it seems that everyone is replaceable or expendable. The company's culture encourages people to be opportunistic and align yourself with the right people to have any influence. Even if things are going well for you now, your manager/team/department could change in a short course.

Thanks for your feedback. We are working in several ways to identify solutions to our attrition. We are taking this very seriously in order to stabilize turnover and improve employee trust and satisfaction. First, we have hired an independent firm to conduct a thorough employee engagement survey which will identify the trending issues that our employees want to be resolved. Secondly, we are expanding our Human Resource team and improving processes to better identify and address these issues and to work with the departments to implement action plans. Finally, in Human Resources, we continue to incorporate best practices and tools to help us to better serve and support our employees. Thanks again for your input and we look forward to meeting our goal to make Natera one of the best places to work in 2017!
