He estado trabajando en Synthace en tiempo completo (Más de un año)
Ventajas
Potentially very impactful laboratory software - automation of an industry.
Novel software, novel problems. The depth and interest of the work really stands out from crowd of web app companies.
High degree of autonomy on how problems are solved, feels like employee feedback is seriously listened to. There's scope for everyone to make an impact.
Inclusive - everyone including the CEO is approachable. Many team meetings are open. Always easy to get a coffee in the kitchen and chat with whoever is there.
Mix of biologists and software engineers, and they do talk to each other - a lot! Serious efforts to spread knowledge - biologists included in software design and review, engineers doing lab training.
Good work/life balance. Generally an ethical company planning for long term growth rather than quick burnout.
Nice office environment - plants, snacks, coffee, open areas for relaxing away from the desk. Regular social events and meals.
Desventajas
Still a small company, although making great strides.
Recomendaciones para el equipo directivo
Keep going, stay focussed. Keep the 'one team' mentality as the company grows.
Solicitud
Me postulé en línea. El proceso me llevó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Synthace (Londres, Inglaterra (Reino Unido)).
Entrevista
A screening call, two algorithmic problems on Hackerrank, a walkthrough of an algorithmic problem with an engineer on a call, an onsite interview. The onsite consists of a system design question, behavioural interview, a lab tour, two algorithmic problems to solve on a whiteboard. Generally, the process is non-stressful and pleasant.
