Pros

none that I can think of

Cons

Recently an employee was involved in an incident where the Zymegern HR department could have and should have backed him but instead hung him out to dry. He was accosted on the street by a thug. He was berated, assaulted, and abused and withdrew to the safety of the security office where the harangue continued. The employee was able to leave the situation and the attacker left. In the ensuing ‘investigation” his statement was taken by HR. It was subsequently used against him and he was FIRED. HR gave a lame reason that the employee did not uphold company values. He had been doing excellent work, but they blamed the victim and was FIRED because HR refused to support their employee. Do not trust Zymergen HR. They are not your friend and are not on your side. They will backstab you at a moments notice.
