Pros
One of the most amazing biotech-genomics-CompSci talent pools that exist in the world. Amazing facilities, amazing potential to change everything we know about health and disease. It's in San Diego.
Cons
I was driven to write this because of the obviously planted reviews of June 28th. It is this kind of questionable integrity that made me give my resignation. HLI is not managed like a great business, a great research center, or a great clinical services center... they do not know who they are, except that they have the flash of the name Craig Venter who can convince the impressionable to invest in something they don't understand. The place is run on fear, favoratism, and personal ego stroking of upper management. My last straw was hearing the multiple concerns re data integrity, ethics, and privacy from both the clinical and research sides. It is very sad, as the people they have recruited are amazing, but management stifles the best people from giving their creative and collaborative best while rewarding those that tow the party line. HLI has the potential to change the world under a new CEO and CMO, but as it stands it is a place ripe for the picking of great talent.
