      Senior Engineer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ginkgo BioWorks

      Interview

      Phone screen with recruiter first. Then directly to full day zoom interview with a 45 min presentation. Felt like a step was skipped because I didn’t even meet the hiring manager until the day of my presentation.
