      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Zymergen

      Interview

      Tough but fair. Lots of people. Not a well thought through process. Very detailed on technical evaluation. Really smart people. The environment seemed quite chaotic and well suited to those who would thrive in that environment.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Experience and background. Working in chaos.
      Answer question
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Zymergen

      Interview

      Had a phone call with the current lab technician that was leaving and was offered an in-person interview thereafter. I was applying from out of state (which was also stated in my resume). But when the hiring staff asked aout my availabilities and learned that I would have to fly in, they retracted the interview and said they were looking for in-state candidates.

      Interview questions [2]
