      Pros

      Personalis innovates with game-changing technologies that will have a huge impact on medicine. I want to work with a company that is doing something more - For me, Personalis is it. There are a lot of super smart people working there in many categories. I see none of the micro-management noted in another post here. It's been quite the opposite for me. I've got full latitude and support to create and innovate. My manager is fantastic. I've never had better. And because of it, we're making rapid progress on great new products. The people are welcoming and friendly. I started working with them as a contractor, and was invited to and welcomed at company parties. I took a pay cut to work here, and I don't regret it. I am excited to be working with such a great company. The CEO is smart, visionary, and inspiring. The products are excellent, and they're doing things that their competitors can't pull off.

      Cons

      Pay is pretty good, but so far I don't see the high bonuses that I could get at some other companies. There's more and more traffic on 101 near the company. Yeah, I recently ate lunch at Uber - I'd like a lunch setup like that.

      Pros

      Good WLB for some teams. Good company culture. Caring coworkers. The mission is great.

      Cons

      The benefits and pay could be better. Morale is low after layoffs. Understaffed teams facing high work pressure.
