The atmosphere is great. ZyLAB has a very flat organizational structure and one is able to talk with everyone without any hesitation. There is no barrier that should be crossed to speak to someone, and everybody makes time for each other if that is asked for. Thus, the ambiance is very open.

The atmosphere is indeed great. As an intern, you sit together with the other interns and ZyLAB colleagues and you can always have lunch together. Every Friday there is a ‘Vrijdagmiddagborrel’, which is a lot of fun!

I learned about ZyLAB when we visited ZyLAB together with 25 students of the Leiden University for a presentation. I was intrigued about the projects that were shown and applied for the Internship program.

What comes to mind when you think of ZyLAB?

I had lots of feelings working at ZyLAB, but stress was definitely not one of them. The nature of doing research is stressful enough without having to deal with business aspects like reporting, presentations. Everyone at ZyLAB, however, seemed to magically comprehend this and avoided adding more stress on me. So when I think of ZyLAB, I think of a thoughtful friend being highly supportive of me for mutual benefits (and a beer buddy on Friday)

How did you experience your time at ZyLAB?
My time at ZyLAB was great; my colleagues were extremely kind and helpful, the vibe within the office was stunning and I was able to adapt very quickly. We had loads of fun on the work floor, during events, on Fridays and during special occasions such as the kick-off of the new office.

How did you experience the atmosphere within the company?
The atmosphere within ZyLAB is splendid. An aspect that underlines that is the professional but informal vibe at the office; the Management Team is seated among the other employees and are extremely open-minded and approachable. All employees are keen to help each other out if necessary.
