Pros

Roche keeps pumping money into the nanopore sequencer project.

Cons

Nanopore sequencing project in Santa Clara is the most Machiavellian company culture I have ever come across in my career. People constantly bad-mouthing each other behind their backs. No teamwork or cooperation between groups because they are all too busy pointing fingers at each other to actually solve problems that plague the platform. Any new employees that attempt to break through this culture get punished and end up living out the five monkeys experiment.
