Pros

- Great work culture. Highly depends on the team you're on (as with most companies) - Fair compensation - Pretty good benefits - Emphasis on worker ownership, not just in platitudes, but in stock and voting power - Great transparency

Cons

The company makes revenue, but it remains to be seen if a profit can be made. Ginkgo certainly has the potential to be a powerhouse in the synthetic biology space, but whether or not it can succeed remains to be seen.

Exciting, diverse projects. Excellent coworkers.

The company has been downsizing since I was hired, and everyone is perpetually terrified of losing their jobs.
