I'm a book, two documentaries and a miniseries into Theranos and the clear answer is:

- things were so compartmentalized that no one ever had a clear picture

- anyone who might have a clear picture was fired

- they ran the place like a police state

- fraternization outside staged company events was heartily discouraged

- you took your money and you shut the fuck up

- their NDAs were toothy AF and they were extremely litigious

It was a real Sand Hill Pyongyang kinda place. The Dropout is, if anything, too kind.
