I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks.
I've had 3 interview processes with Synthesia at different times; the first two I was rejected, and on the third one I got hired. My overall experience with the process is super positive. I've had the luck of encountering a talent acquisitor super pushy for me and my background/experience.
On the different stages, I was prompted with real-world problems and normal questions about my past experience; nothing outside of the ordinary happened. Everyone I got to talk to was super friendly and had no issues on stopping mid-interview to answer some questions.
I'd say it's a difficult process because the company is great and the people that work here are great too, but I'd also say: don't surrender on the first try, approach with a positive mindset and attitude.
A typical one, tell me once you've faced a problem in your work/life and how you approached it.
The following metrics were computed from 8 interview experiences for the Synthesia Software Engineer role.
Synthesia's interview process for their Software Engineer roles is fairly selective, failing a large portion of engineers who go through it.
Candidates reported having very good feelings for Synthesia's Software Engineer interview process.
