      Pros

      The company has good benefit and flexible working hours. The science behind nanopore sequencing is interesting and the people are easy to work with in general.

      Cons

      The politics in this organization is worse than any other companies I worked in. Managers downplay each other and team members to show credibility. Too many useless meetings whereas everyone show the same slides over and over again. Most of the talent ones have left this company already.

      A tale of missed opportunities

      Pros

      Still a lot of open, interesting scientific problems to tackle.

      Cons

      - A restricted group of managers originally hired by Genia's founders is still in charge of making all the important decisions. - Those same managers do not fully understand the fundamental scientific problems that need to be solved in order to deliver a product (DNA sequencing device) - People at the Roche HQ up in Pleasanton seem to be ok with it.

      Pros

      Some groups are really great, fun, co-operative, and provide excellent opportunities to learn and develop new skills. Great funding, nice lab spaces, good benefits.

      Cons

      Lack of co-operation between groups, very noticeable politics, micromanaging from senior level management, little to no promotions, poor leadership, toxic competition between teams,
