Invitae reviews

-As a rapidly growing company in a constantly evolving space we're writing the playbook as we go. If defined structure is a must-have in your ideal job that can be a challenge. -There is a constant struggle to maintain a small startup culture that doesn't necessarily match with the current size and scope of operations. -The lack of a mentorship, career progression and continuing education/training program has not been a priority for management. (Looks like some changes in approach might be on the horizon). -While it's normal to have turnover in the biotech space and even more so in the current job market it can be a detractor. There's been a significant turnover in the past several months--incentive programs may help reduce the turnover rate.

- burning cash fast - high turnover: quick to hire and acquire, then quick to layoff long term or solid employees - lack of career development opportunities - lack of documentation and disconnect in lingo between teams - lack of training/onboarding for some teams, and not forgiving of mistakes despite lack of training - community still acts like a small startup but is actually past that point, which contributes to issues surrounding training/onboarding and good documentation on internal processes - insistent on using a passive aggressive performance evaluation tool. does not seem to have a objective, quantitative approach to evaluating employee output/contribution. - "Unlimited PTO" policy oddly seems to result in pressure to work more hours and take less vacation because a lot of people don't. "Why isn't this done yet?" is a common question from upper management who are often unaware of other competing priorities or the cadence of development cycles.
