Pros
Amyris has an incredible R&D culture filled with talent, trust, and good communication all the way from the CSO to the RAs. The science strikes a healthy balance between academic rigor and speed. TheCons
As with most companies in the synthetic biology field, financial stability is always a concern. Although, I think Amyris is at a much more financially mature place than other similar companies.Diversity & Inclusion at Amyris

Interview
Pros: The people were very friendly. The job was described well. I had the opportunity to ask my future manager all the questions I had. The problem-solving exercise was fun. The whole process was composed of several 1:1s but it took just a week. The communication with the recruiter was smooth, fast, and respectful. Cons: The process could be shortened by having fewer people in the interview panel. In my case, I had more than 10 people interviewing me. There was little time for me to ask questions in a few 1:1s. Overall, the experience and the first impact were positive.InterviewEveryone asked why Amyris. Technical questions on my presentation. Technical questions about hypothetical challenges and how to resolve them.
