Pros

Some people can be nice and fun to work with! You do get some form of learning (what not to do, how not to behave etc.)

Cons

- CEO and management are so blinded by greed that they don't see the suffering and realities of other folks. While covid is leading to a boost in sales, there is no empathy for employees to recognize their struggles financially or emotionally. I left in time but have heard of several folks getting covid because Zymo was unable to keep/ not interested in keeping folks safe. To further prove this, Zymo has a history of offering reagents at a discount after natural disasters (Floods etc.) 2. HR is a joke 3. It really does depend on the group you're in, but one day the CEO will turn on your group giving his changing priorities so enjoy it while it lasts 4. Pay is so low that if you can get away with working less you will. Folks talk about leaving so often due to the reasons mentioned above 5. Compliance and data safety: with lack of investment in IT/ privacy laws Zymo has not stored your data appropriately. If you have sent them your genetic samples your data has been compromised You will learn nothing but negative things, leave or don't join

Pros

They were very flexible with me when I had to take time off and supported the fact that I wanted to expand outside of what was in the job description. I was allowed to work on a marketing project and even started tech support training, which I couldn't finish because of the end of my employment.

Cons

Sometimes the work felt very repetitive in the role I was working.
