Everyone seems pretty excited about the work that they are doing and people like to collaborate.
My team members care about one another and definitely want to help each other and support each other and I feel like they have my back.
It does feel like the company still retains a little bit of the "start up" culture wherein people seem excited about what they're trying to do and there's a lot of cross-functional collaboration. 23andMe also definitely clearly cares about being mission-driven.
They need to ask the employees what they need/want/are working on before making decisions that affect them. They need to be more involved and visible. They need to impress upon management the importance of being better leaders/require all management to take leadership training.
I would feel better about my experience if I had a clearer view of how I fit into the company and felt more like I can actually affect the change and progress that I'd like to. I'd also like to feel more supported in seeking those growth opportunities for myself.
I would feel better about my compensation if there were full transparency on people's salaries at the company. Benefits-wise: I feel like the amount we are asked to pay monthly for our healthcare is way too high. I've worked at start ups that pay for more of my healthcare than 23andMe.
