I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Synapse Product Development in Feb 2011
Interview
Mine was exceptional for multiple reasons. First, they wound up halting hiring for a couple months, then I also wanted to be interviewed for EE, then we ran into some insurance issues to negotiate, and then I wanted to finish the project with my current employer before leaving. But the normal process required a lot of visits anyways.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Software had garden-variety coding problems. EE had a wide range of questions/problems, testing all fields.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Synapse Product Development (Bengaluru) in Sep 2019
Interview
There was a resume process upon which there was a coding round where most of the students got filtered and upon that there were 2 rounds which were technical and hiring manager rounds after which they gave me the offer since it was a Japanese corp didnt negotiate the offer
A recruit coordinator first emailed me about the following steps. Then I passed a code challenge. After that was a phone interview where the interviewer would ask you some technical questions.
Then my recruit coordinator was out of contact. And her email was also disabled. I emailed another recruiter of them for help, and only get a auto-mail saying that I failed.
I applied online. I interviewed at Synapse Product Development
Interview
Applied via their online application page with my resume and an answer to the programming question (seems to be same for every SWEng position BTW). Recruiter emailed back with a phone screen request, which was just a discussion with a senior SW engineer about resume stuff, past experiences, and a couple of basic domain knowledge/coding questions. Got invited to the onsite(though it seemed like they don't cover any travel expenses) until they canceled a little bit later.
