High school all over again

Pros

There is a paycheck at the end of it all.

Cons

The company has little to no diversity, its all some flavor of White and Asian. As long as you are able to be fake and just pretend to act the way management wants you to you will be find. Anyone who does not follow along will be bard from any growth in the company and their words will be twisted to justify it. Favoritism is obvious to everyone but management who claims there is none. If you are one of the workers who stray a little from the norm you will never be given chances to work on projects not matter how well you do your job. Co workers are clicky so just be ready to feel like you are in high school again and beware who you trust. Just because someone seems trustworthy doesn't mean they are, they will throw you under the bus if it benefits them in the long run.

Pros

Benefits. Flexible scheduling. Coffee. Good location for walking.

Cons

Gossip between management and subordinates with obvious favoritism. People that do not work and are not held accountable and even promoted. Management does NOT listen or make changes based on employee recommendations -- even though that is what they purport themselves to be. Two managers have absolutely NO IDEA what is going on, and keep on being managers. (Picture George Costanza as a molecular scientist....) Management that doesn't even respond to your emails and nothing is done.Horrible service by Client Services department resulting in irate patients and unresolved billing issues. Sales team that practices deception and sever misinformation with provider offices resulting again in irate patients and unresolved billing issues. There are way too many individuals that do not perform their work timely, correctly or even AT ALL. This work gets passed on to those that DO work and everyone knows it. They want to pretend it's some utopian environment with rainbows and unicorns and despise any perceived "negativity" -- even if that negativity is a result of inaction on the part of management. Their view on "negativity" is anything that shows them dropping the ball on employees that should be fired, or addressing issues that NEED to be corrected and they refuse to do so. Comments on the lab management from other former employees are absolutely 100% accurate. The lies run deep in this company -- avoid at all costs if you're even remotely an intelligent individual that is always astute to those things.

Thanks for your feedback. So glad you appreciate our product(s) and people. At Veracyte we value the full diversity of functions and talent it takes to make a successful enterprise. That said, the departments that may appear to be in the limelight at any point in time vary based on a number of internal factors, including the evolution of the company, product lifecycle and time of the year, as well as external factors impacting the business, e.g., the economy, competitive landscape and technology advancements—similar to most organizations. However at all times our colleagues in every function can “make a name for themselves” by exceeding performance expectations and exemplifying the behaviors that make for a winning team. All the best, VP, HR
