I interviewed at Zymo Research (Irvine, CA)

Interview

I applied for an entry level job and there were 3 rounds of interview. First was video which was quite intimidating and had some difficult questions. Second was with the Hiring manager, it went on for 45 mins and was super chill and positive, basically they want to know more about your experience that matches with the role from your resume. Last is panel which is next week with 3 people, looking forward to it.

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Zymo Research in May 2026

Interview

Applied for a Director level position. Got an email back after a few days asking if I want to interview for a middle manager position. That should have been the first red flag. I reluctantly agree, I mean, why not. A girl’s gotta eat. Then they sent me a link for a one way video interview. Half way through the interview, it turns out it is another bait and switch. This was an interview for a SUMMER INTERNSHIP. Wow.
