I had a really good experience interviewing with Cymulate. The team was super helpful and kept me in the loop the whole time, which was great. Everyone I talked to was nice and easy to talk to, making it feel comfortable. The interviews were a good mix – not too hard, but set up so I could really show what I know. It all felt really thought out, professional, and organized.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

First, there's an HR screening call (phone or Zoom) to go over your background and see if you're a good fit for the role. Then, you'll chat with the hiring manager about your skills and experience. There might be a quick take-home task or a presentation involved. Overall, it moves pretty fast and is professional, but it can depend on how busy the hiring manager is.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation

Had an initial chat with HR to get acquainted and discuss my background and experience. Then, I had a call with the Team Lead where they asked some technical questions. Following that was a coding assignment that took about 3 hours, which was then reviewed by the Team Lead. After that, I had a meeting with the VP of R&D and her Deputy, covering both soft and technical skills. The final stage was a call with HR focusing on questions about team leadership and managing offshore teams.
