Pros

The mission is noble. You are trying to do good in oncology.

You will hear science terms like DNA, RNA, immunotherapy, etc., all the time.

There are free snacks, a lunch subsidy, and an office lunch once a week.

Casual attire is the dress code.

Cons
  • Not sure if the founders are really interested in making a difference in cancer care, or if this is another business to flip after jacking up the valuation.

  • No work from home policy. You are required to be in the office all the time. Hello, this is a tech company and it is the 21st century.

  • Engineering has zombies working who do not know what other teams are doing. Siloed teams with no mentoring or career progression.

  • Excellent engineers have left, and what are left are just there for a job and looking out.

  • Data science team has no subject matter experts in Oncology.

Advice to Management

Take care of your employees.
