      Senior Engineering Manager Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Synthesia in Jun 2026

      Interview

      They don't know what the interview process looks like as it's being overhauled, but I had a first chat with a recruiter who just joined the company a few months ago. He couldn't explain engineering's structure. During our discussion, he suddenly started talking about existing EMs being very junior in the role because they've been promoted internally, so looking to make some external hires to elevate that level. The Senior EM role is scoped to one team oddly. 70% of Synthesia's engineering is Senior & Staff Engineers. The salary on the JD says it starts at 160k, but the recruiter told me it's actually 120-160k max. Weird vibe.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about how you manage underperformers & how you've promoted seniors to staff.
