      Low Morale and a Bad Culture

      Pros

      The perks of small company feel. Everyone knows each other

      Cons

      This is the reality of this company and it's really a bad culture company. I am sharing this so investors can see what is really happening in this rotten culture Some issues with few Vps having too much power and abusing it. One has both Hr and finance so no complaints or positive culture change that is being heard or implemented Tons of anger issues from the top to its employees. Vps and execs are out of touch with reality. A top executive passed away from stress and bad culture. I wish they clear out the negativity and bring in new positive and progressive thinkers who can run this place better

      Thank you for sharing your opinion. Since you have worked at Personalis for several years, you have seen and been a part of our growth. We have grown from about 60 employees at the beginning of 2017 to over 200 today. As we have been growing, we have also expanded and diversified our leadership team. Six executives have joined Personalis since 2019. They bring a wealth of experience and diverse ideas to our leadership team. I encourage you to reach out to me (Assoc Director, HR), or to any member of the leadership team, to discuss any specific concerns. At Personalis we welcome all employees’ ideas and suggestions and have a strict no-retaliation policy for those that raise concerns. We believe the company has a strong future and is a place where employees are treated with dignity, integrity, and respect.

      Free Gym, good kitchen and drinks

      Cons

      This company has bad culture and too much pressure. A VP passed away tragically while working here because of overwork and bad culture. Stay away from this company and help your self to stay healthy and safe from bad upper management

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your time at Personalis. We are sorry you did not have a great experience during your time here. While we strive for work-life balance, we understand that for certain people this may be challenging during peak periods. We believe our culture reflects our core values of Integrity, Respect, Team Work, and Passion. Working at Personalis may have not been for you, but we don't agree with your statement that the tragic passing of a member of our leadership team was due to our work culture. We wish you the best in your career.
