Pros

• Very few tech companies I've worked for produce a product that actually saves lives; this is one of them. • An experienced team that knows what they're doing (Nee Twitter, Google, Dropbox... etc). • Genomics is a fascinating field; it's been a blast learning day to day. • Great work\life balance. Work hard and go home.

Cons

• Office is split between 2 locations that are reasonably far away form eachother. This is going to get better in a couple of months.

Pros

• Passionate, mission-driven team • Remote work offers some flexibility • Company’s focus on expanding access to population health and cancer screening is meaningful in theory

Cons

• While the company promotes “physician-led care” externally, clinical teams are often left out of decisions that directly affect care delivery and typically learn about changes only after they’ve been implemented. • Physicians are engaged as independent contractors with limited influence on workflows, infrastructure, or care protocols, even though they are on the front lines of patient care. •The operational culture sometimes prioritizes volume/throughput over thoughtful preparation or clinical nuance. • Feedback channels exist, but follow-through is inconsistent. Concerns raised may be minimized or framed as resistance rather than opportunities for improvement. • Scheduling and operational decisions can change with little warning or input, impacting stability and morale. • Overall, there’s a gap between the clinical expertise within the organization and how much it is integrated into ongoing decisions, workflows, and strategic direction.
