      Confrontational Culture

      Pros

      The mission and inspiring vision of the company's CEO/Founder. Very cool and impactful technology. Strong products - seems to be a premium brand with customers for a reason.

      Cons

      Highly political and at times hostile culture makes it a pretty unhappy place to work. People seem more aligned to egos and one upping each other than doing impactful work for the business. At times it seems folks are concerned with winning against each other than the competition and losing focus of the real business goals. Disempowering. Management team is still used to running the show as a startup and have not learned to empower people or harness the skills they've been hired for. Roles and responsibilities are not defined clearly, resulting in unnecessary redundancies, confusion, and bickering - contributing to lower morale.

      Get tons of cool exposure and work with super smart people

      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!
