Business outlook
Pros
Strong skills in technology and genetic sequencing (with help from Illumina) Slick and tech-y feel, straight out of a Silicon Valley episode Some really book-smart people with reputable academic pedigree Has all the outward "things" (free lunch, pretty space, chariot rideshare, gameroom, good pay, equity potential, amazing PR and marketing, a pretty mission statement)
Cons
Lack of attention to patient data protection bordering on unethical Inadequate project planning and lack of sustainable product strategy Inexperience conducting clinical research in a regulated environment Blatent disregard for quality control and compliance (disguised as "the grail way") Highly politicized, money driven environment
