The interview process consisted of the following conversations over a two-month period:

• Screening process by an internal recruiter.
• Discussion with a team leader regarding my career so far and a brief technical discussion.
• Take-home test creating a service consuming an API.
• 1.5-hour discussion with two engineers regarding my solution and how to further enhance it.
• 1.5-hour discussion with the CTO.
• 1-hour discussion with the team about fit and history.
• Final catch-up with the internal recruiter.

No offer was made at this point due to a recruitment freeze. A few months later, I contacted Snyk 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 candidate's technical capabilities. The further discussions allowed me to demonstrate my thought process to questions and my 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 may be a little strong, I guess, but to have eight calls and two 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.
