Pros

Great ambitions, wonderful project that could do a lot of good and save a lot of people. Company puts a lot of effort into morale, especially during the early phases of the pandemic. Top-notch project managers. Some top-notch employees, especially scientists, in certain positions. Nice people. Lots of funding.

Cons

Groups do not work with each other, non-cooperative culture that is more interested in people's feelings and pronouns than holding people accountable for getting things done. Constant turnover, including at the C-level and VP-level. HR sent out a survey asking about people's gender identity, sexual preference, and race, and then announced more than once in all hands meetings that this information would be used in computing raises and promotions. Apparently, this is required by the Biden administration for companies of 100 or more employees (in HR's defense). This is, however, why I left Freenome.

Pros

Pay was competitive and the facilities are great. The product itself is genuinely meaningful and easy to get behind. I worked alongside some few talented, good-hearted people — unfortunately, many of them eventually left due to the culture issues described below.

Cons

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.
