Best job I've ever had. I work a lot of hours not because I'm expected to but because I'm passionate about our mission and I love what I do. As they say, do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. I feel that way at GRAIL and I'm surrounded by kindred spirits. I'm happy here.

Everyone is focused on the mission of the company which leads to a lot of collaboration rather than competition. I also like that people are treated as professionals and trusted to do their jobs without a lot of micro-management. Being a remote worker, I truly appreciate that trust.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
We all share a great mission. Diversity of all kinds is welcomed. We are given goals and left to meet them. If we need assistance, management is there to help but we aren't micro-managed. In my area, everyone roots each other on and are very collaborative, sharing tips for success. Flex time off.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Paid well and enjoy flex time for vacation. You basically run your area of responsibility like your own business. Meet your goals and take time off when you need it. It all comes back to not being micro-managed. At GRAIL we take our work seriously and are treated like the professionals that we are.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
I like a couple of things in particular about the leadership team. One is that they appear to have a clear vision. I've worked in start-ups before that changed directions often as they navigated their way into a new market. I haven't seen that here. Second is no micromanaging. I LOVE that & GRAIL!
What did you like most about the interview process?
No "gotcha" questions or cliched "tell me about a failure" questions. It was a give and take conversation. They had questions they needed answered to determine if I was a fit for the company but they also spent time answering mine. The process was also very prompt. I had an offer in about a week.
What makes you most happy at work?
Knowing what I do is literally making a positive difference in people's lives. Our product is the first of its kind to detect over 50 types of cancer with just a blood draw. How can you not be happy being part of that? I also love that my boss knows how crazy busy I am and leaves me to get it done.
