DNAnexus Reviews

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.

We are breaking new ground here and so there were times where our direction shifted or was unclear. The number of initiatives we are involved in does stretch out the team and hopefully won't impact our focus or quality.
