Pros
I feel valued and respected by my team, as an employee and as a human being. I am given the time and space to take care of myself and my family. I am given opportunities to grow, learn, and be challenged. I am recognized for my accomplishments and praised for my hard work. I am given career support by my manager to grow internally within the company. I am contributing to positive, life-altering work as we pioneer the field of genetics-based healthcare.
Cons
Location and commute can be difficult if you live in the north/east bay or south San Jose, and you want to return to the office. That's largely the fault of the Bay Area itself making commuting difficult, and the company is very flexible about allowing you to WFH.

Pros
Overall, the culture is great. Benefits are decent. The people working there really do believe in the company and want it to succeed.
Cons
23andMe needs to grow up. They have held on to a quasi startup culture for too long. The vision of the company needs work. Over my tenure the amount of large scale company wide projects that got shelved was fairly high. It sometimes felt like the company was blindly trying good ideas and hoping one of them stuck.
