Pros

I've been at Natera for about a year now and am glad I joined. I was hoping the role I signed up for would expand and that I'd get to see more aspects of the company and I probably got more exposure than I bargained for! If you sign up for something, you definitely get the chance to prove yourself. Love that I get to solve interesting problems with super smart people. Also love all the food - they changed to healthy options a couple months ago - but I do miss the salty stuff.

Cons

Be careful about getting put on the spot - managers can be impatient and expect you to have answers. Worried they are expanding too quickly - my boss is interviewing people every day. There's almost zero desk space, where are these people going to fit?

We've expanded! Part of our operations have found a new home in Redwood City, as well as expanding our footprint in San Carlos. We are currently planning to accommodate for future growth, in addition to making space all of our lab operations. It may be dense, but our work force has been incredibly flexible and agile. We love our Naterans!

Our management team heard our employees feedback for more communication, and here are some of the things that we've done. Quarterly town hall happy hours where leaders speak directly to our employees with updates on goals and challenges ahead, monthly anonymous surveys and employee' feedback to share with executive team and managers of all the departments, a monthly news letter with all the latest events and news about Natera inside and out. Another great program we've launched are Lunch and Learns, which has been a great way to learn about various projects and teams. Communication channels and programs will continue to grow as we adjust to growth - stay tuned!
