Pros
The technology is really great and the work is always interesting. Free lunch 3 days a week, nice collaborative environment, nice location, really great health care benefits.
Cons
Always stressful. things are constantly changing and employees are always expected to just get with the program and perform at their best. There is little training to managers so they are not able to help other employees below them. Your experience at Amyris will largely depend on who your manager is and how much they want you to succeed or not succeed. relationships with line managers feel like high school type of relationships , and because of lack training and many other things, a lot of managers are pretty terrible at their jobs - at all levels. I have met some incredible people at Amyris - I have also met really despicable individuals. We all come to Amyris for the science and we all leave because of management.
