I applied online. I interviewed at Synthesia (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
Recruiter (yeah Talent Partner) doesn't know the transferability of skills and methods across different problem domains and reject me because "you have no experience in that domain". If that is the case, why do you even schedule the interview with me? What a makeshift team and a waste of time.

I had an initial screening with HR, then a hiring manager interview, followed by a 1 hour coding interview. Then a take home exam where people spent on average 4-5 hours. Afterwards had a technical briefing regarding the take home exam
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Synthesia (London, England) in Oct 2023
Interview
I only interviewed with the initial Recruiter, but the process was very smooth and they were really interested in the relevant experience I had. I didn’t matter that much whether it was directly related, as this was a very specific role, as long as it was related. At the end, I decided not to go through with the process as the role was focused on character customization which I wasn’t very interested on.
