Ginkgo Bioworks is in the midst of a 25% layoff (around 300 employees) - I found out today that I can continue being employed there It’s definitely bittersweet - I didn’t want to be looking for a new job - particularly since the biotech job market right now is terrible - too many companies laying off, too few starting or growing But many super-talented, interesting people I enjoyed working with are now looking for their next job. I’m still figuring out who is out immediately, who is on a deferred layoff and who is staying You could build several excellent small biotech companies from who has been cast off - all levels of personnel were hit and every specialty - IT, Data Science, Facilities, Business Development, Software, Computational Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Mammalian Cell Culture, LC/MS, etc Most people Boston-based, a number in CA and many others working remotely So if you know of opportunities out there, I’d be very happy to pass them on - there’s an Slack community set up for current and former Ginkgo employees that is useful for distributing job leads
