"I went to work at Sequenom after much prompting of coworkers that had moved there once the facility opened in 2012. The promise of a smaller company, being on the forefront of diagnostic testing, and contributing to something that would really help patients, I took a position. Problems continued every day and week because the manager above me was incapable of trusting us to do the work. Micromanagement, in-accountability of management and no recognition if you don't kiss up."
