Pros

Pay seems decent, work remote sometimes, can bring pets to work

Cons

This company pretends to be "woke" and everyone "has their reason to be here" but it's all for show. The only "woke" things are to sometimes work remote and you can bring your pet to work. The only reason people work here is for a paycheck. The rest is just BS.

We do offer great benefits for being onsite at the lab in SF and a large % of our jobs are remote. From your comments, I don't think you have worked here for quite some time since we no longer have pets at work. Not sure how you would interpret "woke" but we have a very diverse and inclusive culture which sets us apart from many other employers. For anyone wanting to see the details, you can see our Environmental, Social and Governance report at this link.https://ir.invitae.com/news-and-events/press-releases/press-release-details/2023/Invitae-Publishes-Annual-Environmental-Social-and-Governance-ESG-Report/default.aspx

Growth at any cost without the infrastructure to support it led to burnout in a lot of places.
