A confused place to work. Too many products, too many goals. No set direction/path. - Anonymous employee Amyris Employee Review

Pros

Some people are nice to work with. Great perks for employees.

Cons

I have never seen any Company except Amyris that has so many Managers and Directors, and most of these people are not even appropriate for the roles. Management lacks communication, projects lack execution. Unnecessary tight deadlines, and inefficiency created by the management, requires people to work long hours, holidays and weekend. Poor and sad place to work.
