Pros

- There's funding. But the funding does not benefit your salary, your equity, the culture, or employee perks/happiness.

Cons

- Bad product - they call themselves a health "tech" company but with very little investment in tech. The Apps are buggy, and usually don't work. - Bad leadership - There's a saying that people enjoy what they do because they enjoy working with their boss. Here, the leader (CEO) is not someone that you would enjoy working with because he is a dictator. There's no concept of 'team' and there's definitely no room for you to truly innovate because they just like to copy what other companies do. - Skeptical morals - They're able to get funding because they think they're helping people, but what they're doing is selling the packages to insurers who have NO IDEA what their customers even want. It's not about improving people's health, it's about making money. That's really what it's all about. - Disorganized in many aspects... team leadership changes almost every other week, new people are joining and quitting within the SAME month, projects are agreed to without any scoping done initially. They operate like a factory that has many chains of operations.

Thank You for sharing your experience. I'm very sorry that your experience here at Prenetics was not a great one. In terms of funding, we have been fortunate to secure funding that allows us runway for the foreseeable future. We do however need to be careful of this and spend wisely where appropriate. We have also used this funding directly for our current employees and new employees package, equity is comparable to other start-ups if not more, and have introduced weekly lunches, employee budget for personal growth, team lunches, etc. While certainly I am bias, I do believe we have a very good product which can be further improved on. In this aspect, many improvements are under way and I have no doubt in a short time, we'll get there. Our product has already made and helped tens and thousands of people change their diet / lifestyle for the better. There are countless testimonials I read and that's what motivates me. Money should never be the motivating factor and it's a belief I've always had throughout each of my previous business and even more apparent here at Prenetics. It's truly about improving people's lives and making our tests accessible to as many people as possible, globally. I'm immensely proud of where we are today as a company and more proud of our entire team which is the reason we are here today. We'll continue to make the experience better for all employees and wish you all the best in your future career, health, and life.

Pros

on occasion, paychecks were on time

Cons

No values, poor culture, no leadership or strategic direction. A lot of blame and deflection, zero accountability, complete disregard for laws and regulations, insulting work environment that promotes harassment and discrimination. This "boy's club" run by a handful of incompetents with no actual experience in the industry. No jobs here are secure, because they just use and abuse people while looking for cheaper labor elsewhere.
