Invitae reviews

- 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.

One's happiness depends on which team you are part of. Not consistent across the company and some teams are better than others. Turnover is high. Signs of trouble brewing? Can be a bit chaotic at times though that is to be expected in a fast moving environment. Communication can be an issue.
