Pros

Good atmosphere and great culture until you look to climb the career ladder. Chance to work with some amazing people. Free food most days.

Cons

Chance to become another cog in the “flywheel.” Managers and supervisors become competitive and nasty. The company only cares about enslaving you to their corporate greed. Zymergen has let numerous top tier employees leave because they can’t keep employees happy. This has greatly impacted Zymergen’s direction and trajectory.
