Great work, great culture, great people Sincere efforts made to promote open and honest communication Very low drama, very high collaboration

Too many things going on for everyone to know everything Priorities change very quickly sometimes (might be a pro?) Not a lot of management opportunities (also might be a pro?) Salaries not the highest in industry, but are high-end of average

Business Outlook

Pros

Very smart people coming from very diverse backgrounds. The company culture that Invitae was founded with (similar to Valve) helped produce a lot of innovation and fostered cross-functional teams that encouraged people to learn and grow, and in some places in the company that culture still thrives. There is still lots of time flexibility, unlimited PTO, some catered lunches and snacks.

Cons

The injection of a hierarchy that "doesn't really matter" has resulted in a lot of confusing doublespeak at meetings. Leadership seems to be in conflict with middle management, and middle managers seem to be in conflict with each other. Squabbling over resources seems to take precedence over interest in solving the real business problems; this petty territorialism trickles down in the form of questionable additional meetings and superficial tracking behaviors to "justify" why a group has a certain headcount. Worst of all, neither leadership nor middle management currently take any interest in helping employees learn and grow; as a result, some middle management feels totally justified in claiming a premium on everyone's time while offering nothing in terms of career development.
