I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cymbiotika in Feb 2025
Interview
1. Zoom interview with chief of staff
2. Zoom interview with one co manager of the team
3. Zoom interview with the co founder (was suppose to be in person but they switch to zoom day of).
After the final interview I didn’t hear back for a week, emailed, still didn’t hear back after another week, emailed again, and finally got a decline the following week. The next month they messaged me on LinkedIn asking if I was interested in reconsideration. I said I was open to a conversation. They had me redo the final interview with the cofounder - she had no idea who I was and opened the interview with the exact same line as the first time. Disappointing that there was no internal communication that I was coming back for reconsideration. I got offered the job the afternoon of the next day (Friday). I said I’d review the offer & benefits and get back to her on Monday as my parents were in town for the weekend. Emailed Monday asking to hop on a call, no response. Linkedin message, no response. Another email, no response. Ghosted after a job offer.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cymbiotika (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Two interviews, a project, and an onsite presentation. After the onsite presentation of the project they said there would be one more phone call as a vibe check and then they ghosted me and were unresponsive.

Interview
The interview process was easy and straight forward. I had three rounds of interviews. All of the team members I interviewed with were energetic and very kind. The final was in person at the HQ in San Diego.
