Pros

Wonderful teammates, unlimited PTO, great benefits, 100% WFH, understanding and supportive leads, ERGs. I absolutely love this company and fought hard to come back after the ROF because there just isn't a place like this that I have encountered. The honesty and communication are still number one in my book, and the acceptance and accommodation for neurodivergence and disability and marginalized peoples is top notch.

Cons

Expected growing pains from becoming a bright-eyed and hopeful startup to a sustainable business. It is scary sometimes because the extra perks are changing/ being reduced to match the current market at other companies in order to save money, but it is still a wonderful place to be, even considering this. I was laid-off during the RIF and rehired in November, so I have a little anxiety at every small change, but, ultimately, the feel hasn't changed too much. Yes, we are asked to do more with less since we lost so many teammates, but it is still more than is offered at many places.

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.
