      Fermentation Engineer Interview

      Aug 27, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ginkgo BioWorks (Boston, MA) in Aug 2020

      Interview

      Had a phone screening with a recruiter, followed by a second interview with two senior fermentation engineers. After a week, I got an e-mail from the recruiter I spoke with saying they were looking for someone with more experience but wanted to stay in touch. Everyone was very nice, respectful, and gave me their full attention. I really enjoyed all the conversations I had and got a lot of my own questions answered.

      Question 1

      What experience do you have in the classroom or out in microbial biology or fermentation?
