      Analytical Scientist Interview

      9 Sept 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Zymergen in Jul 2017

      Interview

      I applied online and a week later got a call from HR. A month later I got invited for phone interview ! The technical interview was difficult...lots of hard technical questions. The interviewer was very knowledgeable and professional. 3-4 days after phone interview I got a reject email which was not surprising because I knew I did not do well.

      Analytical Scientist Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zymergen

      Interview

      I applied online, waited about 2 weeks. A recruiter contacted for availability, phone interview. First, due to my personal issue, we had to reschedule it a week later. I haven't heard back the result, but just wanted to say the rudest recruiter ever I have met so far. I have interviewed at about 20 companies in the last couples of years, but she 's extremely unfriendly. The voice was always high, bossy attitude. The interview was scheduled for 30 mins, but she was asking like in rush. After asking "how are you", then she went right away with a list of questions, no polite words at all, like your daily basis (not "could you tell me about your daily basis of your current work"), your short-term goal, long-term goal. I received the interview guide from the recruiting team before the interview. It's more about behavior questions, but the interview is kind of more technical. I answered generally how to use HPLC and chromatography, then she asked to elaborate. Seems like after I gave more details, she seemed not to get it and felt annoyed.

      Question 1

      What tools and techniques do you use to purify/separate? How do you develop method to purify?
