Pros

This is not your typical tech startup. You're working with a stellar team to bring together healthcare, technology, data science, and biology to make a positive impact on health and help advance the field of genetics. The combination of all these disciplines in one company makes your work intellectually challenging and so much fun. Color is a great place to learn. We have a great balance of different experience levels, including some incredibly bright and experienced senior people that are here because they care. People are incredibly smart, humble, collaborative, and each of us brings their own unique perspective on the world, whether this is your first job or you bring decades of experience. The company has a strong leadership team that embodies strong values and principles, communicates well, and cares deeply about the team. It takes a village.

Cons

Health tech and the field of genomics can be daunting at first, but the team is very inclusive and is doing a great job of onboarding new people.

Pros

• Passionate, mission-driven team • Remote work offers some flexibility • Company’s focus on expanding access to population health and cancer screening is meaningful in theory

Cons

• While the company promotes “physician-led care” externally, clinical teams are often left out of decisions that directly affect care delivery and typically learn about changes only after they’ve been implemented. • Physicians are engaged as independent contractors with limited influence on workflows, infrastructure, or care protocols, even though they are on the front lines of patient care. •The operational culture sometimes prioritizes volume/throughput over thoughtful preparation or clinical nuance. • Feedback channels exist, but follow-through is inconsistent. Concerns raised may be minimized or framed as resistance rather than opportunities for improvement. • Scheduling and operational decisions can change with little warning or input, impacting stability and morale. • Overall, there’s a gap between the clinical expertise within the organization and how much it is integrated into ongoing decisions, workflows, and strategic direction.
