      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Ginkgo BioWorks (Boston, MA) in Jul 2019

      Interview

      very long and intensive. 3 rounds - initial phone screening, video call solve a case, on-site interview. I'm really surprised at the length of time they took for the entire 3 rounds. between each round, a waiting period of atleast 3 weeks.
