      I just started the company a couple of weeks ago, and so far everything has been great from the on-boarding, my training, and my recruiter. Everyone made sure that I had all the materials I needed so I can be successful

      Leader in Population Genomics

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Strong momentum and market traction in the new population health / population genomics focus. Already the leader in this market category. Feels great to have made so much progress in a short period of time! - Making real impact in people's lives. Much more so than in the B2C / ancestry market. In our population health projects, already seeing lives being changed through early detection of disease - Working with health systems, researchers, and payers around the US, including some of the largest. The industry is going to be surprised when we announce. - Amazing team who you learn from every day. There are some negative comments here from people who have left or were let go because the company shifted away from the digital marketing / consumer focus. Most people here are passionate about healthcare, believers in the mission, and probably don't spend any time reading Glassdoor. - New CEO has brought strong focus and discipline

      Cons

      - As with most startups, there's a lot of work to do. Priorities can change quickly so not a good fit if you don't want to have to adjust from time to time - Externally, not everyone knows what Helix does yet. Still more work needed to tell the story of what we've accomplished and where we are focused versus a year or two ago
