Ginkgo Bioworks

"You have equal opportunity here to grow and be recognized - they also encourage and celebrate your ideas and growth!"

"Whenever someone asks me what I like most about working at Ginkgo, my answer is always the same: the people. I feel so lucky to work with such talented, passionate people, who truly care about their fellow team members and the work that they do. Plus, I continuously feel like I have a voice, and am able to share my opinions freely. "

"I feel like Ginkgo is a place where there is almost a barrage of opportunities to learn new things and take on new roles. Super high-growth startup stuff. For someone who wants to seize opportunity, it’s a boon harvest. The cost of this is that it can be a chaotic, learn-as-you go place. At the same time, it’s very respectful of individual needs and schedules, so I have been able to design a life around Ginkgo that works for me and my family. "

"I love working at Ginkgo! It's not perfect but it's by far the best place I've worked. We're constantly striving to be better - real change is prioritized and in just two years here, I've already seen many improvements. The diversity council is very active and a lot of people around the company participate. We just hired a head of diversity & inclusion too! Within my team, I've been given the space & opportunities to grow immensely as a technical contributor. I can see myself staying here for a long time and I've never felt that way working at another company. "

"Ginkgo is an exciting place to work, not just because of what we do but because of the people. While I cannot speak for all women at Ginkgo, I feel that my opinions are valued and I am given an equal opportunity for my voice to be heard. People (including Ginkgo leadership) are receptive and appreciative of feedback and deliver it in an honest and supportive way."
