Pros

The company is still small but rapidly growing, there will be a lot of opportunities to grow a career with the company. The teams are collaborative, friendly and highly dedicated. Benefits are very solid considering it's a small company. Stock equity, annual bonus, 401k matching, free snacks, gym, etc.

Cons

Since it is still a fairly young and small company, formal programs and processes are still being developed.

Personalis Response

So happy to read your feedback. We are working our best to make sure our culture promotes collaboration within teams and overall an awesome work environment. Thank you for sharing.
