Pros

First off - Zymergen deserves 3 stars but considering the implicit ask of employees to leave positive reviews, I leave one. Zymergen is unlike any other company, oscillating between feast and famine on a yearly cycle. You can learn a lot from the infrastructure and love of science that built such a robust company.

Cons

Unfortunately, I think Zymergen has a growing divide between business and science. This is most visible by the continual attrition of researchers, and the bright and shiny messages being released.
