Snyk interview questions

The interview process consisted of the following conversations over a 2 month period: 1: Screening process by internal recruiter. 2: Discussion with a team leader regarding career so far and a brief technical discussion. 3: Take home test creating a service consuming an API. 4: 1.5 hour discussion with two engineers regarding my solution and how to further enhance. 5: 1.5 hour discussion with CTO. 6: 1 hour discussion with the team about fit and history. 7: Final catch-up with internal recruiter. No offer was made at this point due to a recruitment freeze. A few months later, I contacted Synk again regarding opportunities. A 1.5 hour technical discussion then followed with a product team lead. No offer was made after this discussion. Everybody I met at Snyk was extremely pleasant. I had some great conversations. The technical take home test was a great way to demonstrate a candidates technical capabilities. The further discussions allowed me to demonstrate my thought process to questions and ability to think on my feet. The only negative comment I can make is that the process was a little long. It did feel as though I was slightly "messed around" at times. That maybe a little strong I guess but to have 8 calls and 2 rejections felt a little funny. It may have been a combination of bad timing and no suitable role at the time but it did leave a little sour taste. Overall, I thought the whole process was good, just a little long and not timed well.

Process was very speedy! I was surprised how everything was organized. I had a total of 4 interviews: hiring manager, colleague, director and recruiter. Each stage I was meeting wonderful people that I was soon to call my colleagues.
