      Research Associate Interview

      Jan 25, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amyris

      Interview

      Phone screen with HR. Then roughly 1.5-2 hr of panel interview. Groups of two people for 30 min. People were friendly and nice. The only thing is that HR never got back to me (so of course I didn't get the job). Just feel like it would have been a lot nicer/professional to get a rejection via email/phone/anything, especially after a full panel interview.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amyris (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2023

      Interview

      I felt like I have been interrogated during the interviews. Around 10 people interview you, and ask every single details that is not related to your previous job. I felt like some of them trying to sabotage you . Few interviewer were nice but most of them were rude. They were also late for the interview. one of them with thick accent asked question that I did not know what she is saying? At the end I ask one of the interviewer that is this position opened newly or someone has left, one them felt so uncomfortable and said he/she did not have enough experience.
