Zymo Research Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Zymo Research. The company engages in thorough Covid-19 testing procedures that we wish to clarify. If fully vaccinated, employees are not required to do any Covid testing, however, we do provide free and non-invasive throat swab Covid-19 tests to employees and immediate family members regardless. If not vaccinated, employees are encouraged to test Monday through Friday and they are informed of their test result the same day. We value the health and safety of our employees especially at this time during the pandemic. Again, thank you for your insight into helping the HR department make Zymo Research a better company for everyone.

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.
