      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 19, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I interviewed at Synack

      Interview

      I was scheduled for the first round phone screen. The interviewer failed to contact me and asked me to call back. When I called back, extension number was required to reach the interviewer, but no one told me that. Then I emailed HR to reschedule the phone screen. Surprisingly the HR told me they would not interview me any more. What an awful company.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Synack (Phoenix, AZ) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      Interviews: Recruiter, Systems API & Design, SDET/QA, Engineering Director. * Recruiter - Screening * Staff Engineer - Systems API & Design * SDET/QA - Testing insights and paradigms * Engineering Director - Situational & Technical Questions Passed all interviews and received verbal confirmation of intent to hire. I wish the company had treated late-stage verbal offers with the seriousness they warrant. After five interviews and repeated assurances that an offer was being prepared, reversing the decision on the expected offer date reflected a breakdown in internal alignment and candidate care. Ensuring that restructuring decisions are resolved before signaling a hire would protect candidate trust and better align Synack’s process with its stated values.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Synack

      Interview

      Had two phone calls. Both times they went very well, its felt very engaging. I had no opportunity to show my technical expertise despite being told multiple times I had the exact skill set the position was looking for. I felt like my time was very much not respected.
