Where's The Science?
|
|
* An excellent investment if you are starting out in industry, the network you develop in the science team is stellar (just look at where former DNAnexus scientists are working now)
* Scientific employees are/were unparalleled in the field in terms of talent
|
* Bioinformatics team vastly undervalued
* Science team has all but disappeared
* Culture of unpaid overtime is toxic, people work over weekends, holidays, on vacation
* Rapidly outgrowing office space
* Prioritizes the needs of "superstars" over the many good employees, driving people away

Genomics is the beating heart of the company, if you neglect that then you have truly lost your way. Take this feedback to heart and do something about the science departures.

Really great company, product & vision
|
|
• Everyone who works here is incredibly smart and talented. The office feels quite diverse with people of various backgrounds and skillsets and the vibe is never stressful or hostile. The office is always friendly and laid back.
• Benefits are great— Lunch is catered every day, WFH is fairly flexible. There has been better work-life-balance here than other jobs I’ve had in the past.

DNAnexus is ten years old.
|
|
Some of the brightest minds in the industry, if they are still there by the time you join.
Pay is great for an entry level job, and you will be pushed to learn a lot, and very quickly. A year or two at DNAnexus will be an excellent investment in an early stage of your career.
Excellent learning opportunity, join this startup to see what happens when doers' teamwork makes a company successful and "superstars" are brought in to "scale up".
|
Unpaid overtime is the rule. You will work on weekends, in the evenings, during your holidays. If you code; if you don't, you could probably work 9 hours a week and no one would blink.
Toxic politics, teamwork for management is a zero sum game. Managers will actively sabotage career opportunities for their employees, as they feel constantly threatened by their own inadequacy.
Most senior management has no basic understanding of the Genomics industry, so the entire business strategy is based on abandoning everything that made DNAnexus successful, desperately chasing other companies who actually know what they are doing. With 90% of the executive team doing sales and little else, the best exit strategy for DNAnexus is sharing the spoils.

Great place to work
|
|
The work environment is very open and collaborative. We have very smart people in the software engineering organization (as well as brilliant scientists on our science team). Like any company, there are some politics, but less than has been typical in my anecdotal experience.
As for the perks, we get daily catered lunch, gym reimbursement, "unlimited" vacation, good health care benefits, etc.
|
Open office environment makes concentrating on work rather difficult.

Great culture and an exciting company
|
|
Culture trickles down the organization and the executive team has done an excellent job of hiring people with the right smarts and attitudes. It’s a pleasure to come to work knowing that you will be challenged and rewarded. People here work hard but also have a healthy work life balance. Great get-togethers and happy hours are icing on the cake.
|
Difficult to point to a con. Typical and nearly unavoidable growing pains of a quickly expanding business. They are careful about not implementing too many processes but some are becoming needed as we hire more people.
