      Research Associate Interview

      Dec 7, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Irvine, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Zymo Research (Irvine, CA)

      Interview

      The scheduling process felt inconsiderate of my time. I would respond to scheduling emails within a few hours with more than four windows of availability, and then I would get a response five days later asking for something outside of my given availability. I responded with more available times, and got a response a day later asking for a time that afternoon, which I then accepted. I did not receive any response as to the outcome until four weeks after my interview.

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Zymo Research

      Interview

      Interviewers were late and were not prepared for the time they set. I was interviewed by 3 people. Two of them were professional while the third interviewer was very unprofessional. The third one was asking me questions such as how the management at my previous company treated its employees and other questions that I should be asking them. Their attitude was very hostile and combative when they heard answers they did not like.
