RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Invitae full-time for less than a year
Pros
Transparency through the company, in all roles Genuine care for teams and individuals across the board A lot of very smart, honest and mindful humans working together to make a difference Flat org, upside down which is really honored Positive workspace and environment Treated very well by team and management Recognized for skill set and contributions rather than boxed into a specific title Respect for each other throughout the organization is high Genuine willingness to support each other Non-traditional - I don't feel the anxiety, fear, blame, retribution, negative kind of environment I've worked in previously. Focus more on growth and support Culture is amazing Diversity is really important here, always looking for ways to improve which I appreciate I trust my teams and management, this is a big deal for me I really love the people I work with and enjoy my job, feel very fortunate
Cons
Some things move a little slower Growing pains from growth and being innovative - but continuing to improve Organization - continues to improve, we just move quickly and there are areas that could use some better organization and flow.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Invitae full-time for less than a year
Pros
-Great tight-knit team -Remote flexibility -Company wide meetings every week so you know what’s going on -Company provided laptop and reimbursement for accessories -Cell phone bills reimbursed -Company reimburses hotel/bnb stays for workers who need to come down to office who do not live in SF -Weekly Remote Trivia nights -Unlimited PTO
Cons
I felt like the marketing department was spread thin and we definitely needed more people on our team to accomplish a lot more. I remember hearing that a request to add another team member was shot down and a lot of the positions went to sales.

Pros
- Three years ago Invitae was a great company with a promising future. Over the last year or two this quickly started to change. - Initially very transparent and great employees - Great benefits and good pay
Cons
- There is little room for promotion or to move around once you have been hired even if you fight for this - Very sporadic and unorganized - Things are constantly changing and not always for the better. Once a new way or method is learned, they change it up again. -Management is not transparent and does not care about individual employees

Doesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEOI worked at Invitae full-time
Pros
Unlimited time off, remote work.
Cons
No structure, "crash and burn" in every process. Old team vs. New team mentality. "Suck up environment," if you're a person of color, they expect you to lower your standards for them because of their lack of respect and moral understanding of diversity & inclusion (there is none). Even the black people in leadership positions don't speak up because they know the repercussions. Racism and sexism is their thing here and they know they have a problem but don't care to improve. They're going to keep the ones that suck up to them and weed out the strong and open minded.
