BillionToOne reviews

"People leave not because of the company, but because of managers." When I changed managers (without my opinion even if I was a "loyal" employee), it took me a few months to realize that my new manager will not be able to support my growth, or the challenges I had in my personal life. I loved the company but without a great manager, I had to take the loss and find a new home.

The favoritism is wild. CLS staff (especially certain ones) get special treatment, while CLA's often take the fall for mistakes. It’s frustrating to see some CLS taking long breaks or not pulling their weight, but still getting a free pass. Meanwhile, CLA's mess up once and are shown the door. What’s worse is the attitude from senior leadership. We've literally been told in company-wide meetings to suck it up because we “signed up” for a chaotic work environment. The CEO even said in a podcast that the extar workload burden (aka burnout) people feel is by design — like, why brag about expecting people to do 2-5x the work they would at another company for the same (or less) pay? It’s giving we don't care about work-life balance...which they do NOT! Literally, heard a senior staff member talking about this in the halls, if work-life balance is important to someone then BTO is not for them. At the end of the day, this isn’t a pro-employee company — not that many are — but to openly say they want you to grind yourself into the ground for "big impact" or leave? It’s a choice. What’s even more frustrating is that these high expectations don’t apply to everyone — some people just coast by, doing the bare minimum and agreeing with whatever leadership says. Total waste of resources.
