* 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.
