Pretty standard. First a phone interview with HR. Then panel interview that lasted about. Groups of 2 per each 30 min slot. However, the follow up post interview was terrible. No response at all.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amyris (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
I felt like I have been interrogated during the interviews. Around 10 people interview you, and ask every single details that is not related to your previous job. I felt like some of them trying to sabotage you . Few interviewer were nice but most of them were rude. They were also late for the interview. one of them with thick accent asked question that I did not know what she is saying? At the end I ask one of the interviewer that is this position opened newly or someone has left, one them felt so uncomfortable and said he/she did not have enough experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you think you are over qualified for this position or not? Do you feel comfortable working at this position?!( Did not know what does it mean)
So you are unemployed now?
Phone screen with HR. Then roughly 1.5-2 hr of panel interview. Groups of two people for 30 min. People were friendly and nice. The only thing is that HR never got back to me (so of course I didn't get the job). Just feel like it would have been a lot nicer/professional to get a rejection via email/phone/anything, especially after a full panel interview.
