Pros

Great Mission in earlier detection of colon cancer, and other forms of cancer. Guided treatment of cancer through OncoDX testin. Great Pay - above average pay, with Restricted Stock Options for long term growth.

Cons

CEO Kevin Conroy says he is accountable and no more layoffs, but layoffs continue. No trust in anything Kevin says. He shared a pancake recipe during a very tense company-wide / all hands in which employees were concerned about continued financial loses and lay-offs. There is zero accountability at Exact Sciences for poor behavior or poor performance. Due to HR hurdles, leaders just push poor performers to another role or department for other people to worry about it. You can come to Exact, due 5hrs of work - with the other 3hrs surfing the web, tick tock, etc and not be held accountable. Truly unreal. I don't expect heavy handed accountability, but push a performance culture!

Pros

Quarterly bonuses available based on position and company's current performance. Stock awarded in addition to compensation increase during Q1 of each year

Cons

I got fired 2 hours after I had my quarterly review stating I was doing a great job and making a big difference for the department and the customers we served. My entire department was eliminated on a Monday afternoon, with VP leadership stating a need for outsourcing and cost-cutting measures, the typical "we need to be agile to stay competitive" and "think lean with our spending", the typical corpo speak for "we are cutting positions because AI and we want more money". The very next morning, the company had an earnings call with investors and announced they had their most profitable quarter ever in the company's history. A month later, the company announced it was being bought out by Abbott Laboratories.
