Pros
This is an incredibly talented, smart and fun team to work with. Working in genomics is an honor, the opportunity to potentially improve people’s lives globally through new insights and products that our work enables, is hugely gratifying. It is said that fulfillment comes from working on problems that won’t be fully solved in your own lifetime - this is that kind of opportunity.
Cons
Building platforms is very challenging, and genomics is nascent space with much to learn - across the board. The science is rapidly evolving, the business model is a new one, and the products are not always easy to develop and market, in genomics. This is also what makes it fun - there’s no playbook and we are blazing a new trail. Perhaps not a con per se but these factors necessitate a gritty and resilient approach as there will be many challenges to overcome.
