I went through four stages of interviews with SymphonyAI, including a final in-person interview at their office where I met several members of the team and was given a tour. The interview process itself was lengthy and unfortunately quite disorganised. I had to chase HR multiple times just to confirm basic details such as the interview time and even the office address shortly before the meeting. At the end of the final interview I was told I would hear back by the Friday of that week. It has now been more than three weeks and I have received no update at all. I also sent a follow-up email asking for an outcome but did not receive a response. During the interview process we even discussed the company’s relatively low Glassdoor rating. Unfortunately my own experience of the recruitment process reflected many of the concerns raised in those reviews. Regardless of the outcome, candidates who invest the time to complete four interview stages deserve a clear response and basic professional courtesy.

I applied via LinkedIn and received an invitation to schedule an interview within two days. I booked the interview for six days later; however, 30 minutes before the scheduled time, the interview was cancelled (disappeared from my calendar, link on email showed invalid) without any communication or explanation. After reviewing feedback about the company, it appears this may have ultimately been a fortunate outcome. What worse, the salary brackets were not advertised, waste of everyone's time.
