Pros
When I first started at Ginkgo, it had a wonderful culture, great benefits, and unlimited PTO, fantastic people who all enjoyed working together. Pay was good, cool office in Seaport.
Cons
The pros are mostly gone now. The founders made critical and catastrophic financial decisions that buried the company and caused over 400 people to get laid off unexpectedly in 2024. The severance was a joke. The culture has changed completely. People are stressed, unsure of the future and most are looking for their next role to protect themselves. Stress is massive. No work/life balance. Doubtful the company will survive.
