- complaints about poor pay, minimal benefits, no options, no 401(k) matching, no wellness benefits, no gym
- not allowed to post Theranos on your linkedin profile...that's crazy goobers
- lots of acknowledgement by reviewers that many of the reviews of Theranos are fake, including a couple that say there's regular pressure to post fake positive reviews on the site. Reading the positive reviews that sound like press releases, I can believe Holmes probably wrote them herself.
- long work hours, minimal work from home, regular weekend work
- incredibly high turn-over rate (no surprise)
- complaints about lack of domain knowledge up through the management chain, from product development to medicine
- very heavy involvement by the COO in everyday employee's work, complaints about the COO's temper and lack of domain knowledge (he, Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani appears to be Stanford CS dropout who went on to get an undergrad and MBA elsewhere)
- descriptions of the assay preparation not being particularly unique...which feeds my previous notion that they're main innovation is subsidizing blood tests with VC money to drive the price down
- employees with experience in the regulatory environment are ignored
- no protocol "if you stick yourself with a needle" (written by a current Phlebotomist)
