Fake reviews instead of actual change? Wow, I'm shocked.

Pros

Paycheck. But I'm looking. Oh, and the product helps people. Hard to notice though when so much other crap is flung at the wall.

Cons

Just notice how many reviews are happening around the same time. I will tell you as someone that works here, I overheard the office bully (one of them) telling people to write positive reviews since so many people have left negative ones. That prompted me to write this warning: any company who doesn't care that people are truly dissatisfied and just want to cover it up with fluff should be avoided like the plague. If I had any time to look for another job, I would. But I'm working so many hellish hours for this place, I have no life. Look elsewhere if you want one.

It's true...we have asked employees to contribute honest reviews, but this does not mean they are fake or planted. People only tend to speak out when they are unhappy and, since the majority of employees are happy and feel fortunate to be at Natera, we would like them to have a voice too. However, as the new HR Manager, I am very concerned that you are unhappy. My door is always open...please come see me and we'll try to find a solution together that makes your career at Natera more fulfilling and enjoyable. If you, in fact, really don't want to be here anymore we can chat about how to juggle job searching and your daily responsibilities so that, either way, we are working together towards a happier you. I promise to keep your identity completely confidential. Our goal is to have a happy and engaged workforce, so please let me know how I can help. - Johanna

We respect your views and encourage you to filter the Glassdoor posts to view CURRENT employees. You’ll see the ratings go up significantly. While we work hard to help all employees enjoy a successful career with Natera, we are not successful in every case. Our high performing workforce, especially our women leaders, enjoy the respect and rewards that they earn and deserve at Natera.

Pros

Free food, convenient commute, decent insurance

Cons

The worst culture I've ever experienced. I'm a veteran manager and I've never experienced such intimidation tactics and poor executive management. The executive staff needs a turn over starting at the top.
