I applied through an employee referral. The process took a week. I interviewed at Amyris in July 2014.
Interview
There was an initial phone interview with the hiring manager. The following week, I met one-on-one with the hiring manager and four other managers. This took about 2.5 hours.
Interview Questions
- There weren't many difficult technical questions. They did ask a few questions about working in a team environment, so that seemed to be important. Answer Question
