Leadership is lackluster - Computational Biologist Freenome Employee Review

- good place to work, like it

- i dont have any cons

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.

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.
