Avantages
No accountability. None. Get promoted and them just do whatever you want. Rise over their IC role and do whatever you want, even if it costs the company a ton of cash which they are currently bleeding a lot of right now. If you get higher up, you'll never be held accountable for any deliverables. Look at their Oncology and other projects, just rest and vest :) Once you're above the IC level, you can pretty much take as much vacation time as you want. "Leads" often take 3-4 MONHTS of time off per year.
Inconvénients
Lots of lip service to patients and healthcare but you also have the CEO, Sean, telling people "Covid isn't as bad as the flu" and they haven't changed their posture since. Employees don't wear masks indoors or even test. Recently things are toxic and the leadership is not paying any attention. We are losing so many programmers and QA testing people that I donno if the software is going to be fine. Sean doesn't realize he's leading a Healthcare company and keeps all the medical advice at a minimum and I am making the very deliberate point point of naming the person that is Alex Furman because his software they called "org one" has stomped the advancement of the careers of lots of people, he is a hated human I say. Why is Invitae bleeding money? I sure hope the investors look into what Sean, Alex, Karthik, Ken, and Eric are doing....
