Pros

Benefits include HSA/FSA, fertility, great dental and orthodontia, unlimited PTO, fully remote positions, culture of inclusion, accountability, diversity and psychological safety. Colleagues are hard working and passionate about mission.

Cons

Financial instability. Lots of money spent on bad acquisitions. Multiple quirky systems and procedures used for every contract and purchase order.

Pros

There’s food on site so you’re less inclined to leave the building and can get back to work faster. Good snacks

Cons

Very misleading from the beginning. They say “unlimited PTO” at hiring to reel you in. Our Lead set a hard cap at 5 days a quarter and tracked it religiously. Clearly stated it is NOT unlimited. New Lead showed extremely blatant favoritism amongst team, very unprofessional. They won’t hesitate to fire you.

To clarify on our PTO for employees, we have a generous policy for our labs that allows for plenty of time off while also balancing the needs of our patients. With appropriate notice, people can take off time as needed.

Pros

The work is really easy and mundane so you can just listen to music all day. It’s “fun” if you’re out of college and are looking to work with people your age, but stay out of the drama, and don’t expect to be taken seriously within the rest of the company. At least there is free food, a nice cafeteria area, and free garage parking.

Cons

Everybody who helped create and maintain a competent team and healthy culture left for better companies. This team and company is a shell of what it used to be. No communication from leads or upper management about updates, projects or changes until the very last second— sometimes even after the changes occurred. They consistently make empty promises and never follow up on things. The leads are basically kids who don’t have experience being managers/leaders and got those positions through favoritism or seniority. I would not trust them to manage a team, let alone handle patient specimens. If the patients and clients could see the mess behind the curtain, they would find a different company so fast. The work of “helping patients” doesn’t feel fulfilling after a couple months in when you start seeing all the drama. This place will literally suck the soul out of you, so unless you’re desperate for money, I wouldn’t think about working here. Oh I should also mention that overtime is mandatory so any inkling of your work/life balance will be destroyed.
