I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Synthesia in Mar 2026
Interview
Recruiter call, HM call, take home system design exercise, exercise review, leadership conversation, offer.
The process was quick and engaging. All the questions asked were relevent and very aligned with the job/team/role on offer.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Synthesia (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process was standard. A recruiter call, followed by more sessions with leadership. The process felt a little cold, and one interview was started almost 10 minutes late without any notice, which felt unprofessional. It seems like a great product, but I have experienced warmer candidate experiences than this.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Synthesia in Aug 2025
Interview
Recruiter screening call: going through the experience and some very specific aspects of the career (challenges, approach, outcomes).
Discussion about size of the team, motivation, and salary expectations.
Had the time to ask questions and clarify the role.
