Pros

Prestigious client roster and the company has attracted large investments

Cons

Many of the people who made up the backbone of the company have left for competitors. There has been a rush out the door that feels like it left the company a hollow version of what it used to be.

Pros

Competitive salary. Great culture. Competitive benefits. Several generous perks that ensure employee well-being.

Cons

Communication across cross-functional groups and from leadership down to others can be less than ideal at times, but this continues to improve as leadership works through the growing pains that come with scaling a company and going from good to great.

Pros

They offer unlimited PTO to their employees

Cons

Companies often go through similar patterns of growth. Innovation and excitement usually kick things off. Stagnation can then occur, initiated by lack of product fit to market needs. It's then that company culture can shift dramatically. In the case of DNAnexus, they began struggling so much that they started to withhold payment to their employees - significant amounts (5 figures). They terminate employees for speaking up on the matter. It's clearly a sign of a sinking ship.
