Theranos' Toxic Work Culture

Theranos' corporate environment deteriorated significantly under the leadership of Sonny Balwani, leading to a toxic workplace culture. Employees reported feeling demoralized and stressed, with one employee even describing their experience as living in an oppressive atmosphere that was compounded by aggressive management tactics. The pressures from top executives created an environment where morale plummeted, and ongoing gossip about misleading practices intensified employee anxiety. This internal chaos was noticeable to many, including those in leadership roles, raising concerns about the company's long-term viability.
