Company reviews are over-rated - Anonymous employee Veracyte Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on Glassdoor. We believe most people would agree with your observation that Veracyte team members are “genuinely friendly.” We’re sorry to hear that your experience at Veracyte did not fit with our goal of making this a great place to work, as we take this goal very seriously. Input like this is helpful, as we constantly assess our performance and look for areas where we can potentially improve. We strive for open communication with all employees because we view each team member as a valuable contributor to the company’s mission and success. Most feedback we get from employees is quite positive, with team members often telling us that they feel empowered to take on new challenges or offer up creative ideas to address business challenges. In fact, we have been chosen as a “Top Workplace” by the Bay Area News Group two years in a row, based solely on employee surveys. Our CEO has also been named one of the “Bay Area’s Most Admired CEOs” by the San Francisco Business Times because of her strong leadership and our company’s success. As we grow, we are working hard to ensure that we continue to make this a place where people are excited about coming to work each day. Re: benefits and bonuses. In benchmarking against current industry survey data, we find that we’re competitive. We annually conduct an employee benefits survey, and continually enhance our programs as possible, based on the expressed needs of our team. Regarding career goals, if you’ve participated in our semi-annual individual performance assessment and career development discussions, you know that we emphasize finding ways to match team members’ ambitions with Veracyte opportunities. This takes performance, communication, creativity and timing. We’re sorry if your career plans did not fall into place at Veracyte. And, wish you every success in your future endeavors. -Vice President of HR
