      Pros

      I've worked at small startup, big tech, and massive fortune 500 companies. This is hands down the best company I've ever worked at. It starts with light-touch things: the executive who joins your on-boarding; the founders who recognize new faces and ask you for feedback on their company; the kombucha on tap. Then it starts to hit you: complete transparency across finances, marketing and ecommerce data, partnerships, even HR; top-shelf perks and benefits; colleagues who are smart and fun and really truly care; a workplace built on trust. And all of that is just the icing on top of the fact that our business model is on the brink of massive success that will remake the personal genomics industry. It will not only be profitable, but actually improve the lives of billions of people (doing right by our customers in the longterm is baked into our business model).

      Cons

      As you'd expect at a startup, from time to time we'll change directions—not on the mission and not on our company goals, but on the tactics that we use to reach those goals. As we grow and bring in new people and new ideas, these changes can feel larger and affect larger groups than they used to. This in itself is not a problem so much as the small group of folks who feel maligned by these changes are. To succeed you have to work fast, work hard, always be open to new ideas, and know how to advocate for yourself.
