Pros

- Amazing team. It is so cool to work with people from so many different backgrounds--engineers, designers, sales, genetic counselors, researchers, etc. I learn so much from them. - Very supportive. I'm encouraged to try new things and develop new skills. - I am given a lot of autonomy. You can't abuse it, but I am definitely not micromanaged. - I am part of a team that is saving lives. Color's mission to democratize access to genetic testing is allowing people to access care they wouldn't have otherwise been able to.

Cons

- Location isn't the most convenient and we don't have enough much of a work from home culture. - Could use more diverse snacks

Pros

The people you work with are the greatest people. They are so kind and will help you out.

Cons

This has been the worst company I ever worked for. Management will tell you "You are doing great!" but then turn around and say you are not meeting expectations. Leadership has no clue what they are doing and continues to blame the little people at the bottom. Its sad that the only conversation the people who are working there is talking about all the layoffs that has happened in the last five years. You do the work of five people and compensated like you work retail at 17 dollars an hour. The CEO is clueless. If I could rate this company a 0 I would. Please stay away from this company.
