Pros

Large department budgets. Given the tools and resources to get projects done. Good soft benefits like parties and FitBit challanges. Transparent management. Great products.

Cons

Senior management squandered their first mover advantage through scandals and constantly missing out on reading and reacting to a fast changing market Sequenom basically built from the ground up. Typical viotile biotech, could be ramping for growth or laying off impossible to feel any sense of security. Facilities in San Diego feel dated and those hallway pictures are off-putting. No parking after 9am. Lots of waste spent on projects that never needed to done in the first place. Revolving door leads to pet projects being pitched and abandoned mid stream.

Pros

It was a stable role however the opportunities to advance were limited within the business. Onsite parties were fun.

Cons

There wasn’t a lot of corporate culture like other businesses. No padres games or outings. Just parties onsite.
