Freenome reviews about "pay"

Management is terrible. Our supervisor tends to micro-manage a lot. The recruiter promised me that there's growth but as soon as I started, I was at entry level which is discouraging. Another review mentioned about the blame game and that is true in my department. I'm not allowed to perform some functionalities in my job which doesn't makes sense at all.

Inexperienced Managers make the work harder,

Company and product was (and still is) run by some real amateurs. A good assay does not make for a good product. Leadership, especially the CSO, are all over the map and provide no real direction or demonstrate any decision making skills. Very reactive and "ambitious" in their timelines, projections, etc. Tons of churn in the middle-management layer.

Would give you tasks way above your level to complete and then completely disregard it during promotion and pay reviews. No empathy from management even though empathy is one of their core values. Did not care about family events in your personal life, would make you feel guilty for choosing family over work. I had big hopes and still love their mission, but daily work life is nothing like they sold when being recruited. I would not recommend this company to anybody.

Amateur-level science and product. There are many manager-wannabes without adequate scientific training and experience. They can be very arrogant and condescending but, unfortunately, also hold some tribal knowledge. The company is on a very tight timeline, so there is no time to solve issues, which the amateurs created, that will undoubtedly backfire in the future.

They are dishonest and will scapegoat you for not streamlining their chaos. They will renege on parts of your agreed offer acceptance as "business needs", pretending to misunderstand your agreement. Benefits are hard to navigate and difficult to use. They hold you to unestablished KPIs. They offer unlimited pto but will definitely limit it. Micromanage. Do not respect your expertise. Usurp your ideas, and then accuse you of not contributing or pulling your weight - and cut you out of the associated projects. They are diverse but also racist, and definitely do not treat everyone equally.

- It is hard to rise to the ranks, especially in departments that are overlooked by higher-ups. - Management heavily relies on their employees to carry the weight of projects while taking the credit. - Promotions are very limiting and it's frustrating taking the responsibilities of a supervisor without adequate pay.

I'm all for empathy, understanding, & respect, but not if that behavior slows productivity, feedback, and innovation. Culture inteview weeds out excellent candidates based on unrealistic statistics

There are way to many people who are extremely toxic and self serving there. Whether it was within my own team or interacting with others many were only looking out for their own teams interest. Toxic people are left alone by management due to perceived need or viewed as hard to replace. This resulted in multiple good people leaving to avoid it. Instead of dealing with it they let it fester for years. This creates the sense for these people that they are untouchable because in a sense they are. Many I would consider instances of harassment. We went through multiple rounds of layoffs during my time there and they crippled the morale of the company. Made a bit more doom and gloom and it was hard to bounce back from. Health insurance was sub par compared to other companies and industries.
