Looking to build the career of your dreams?
Why not consider a career at Symbiotics?
Whether you’re a student, new graduate or experienced developer, Symbiotics has an exciting career path for you. As our company grows through constant innovation, so we need to add to our team of highly-skilled professionals. Isn’t it time you gained a fresh perspective about your career?
How we evaluate
It will help if you know a little more about us
At the core of our business, we are a development team, centered on Java technologies being applied to innovative solutions using web and mobile platforms. However, we do believe that with a dominantly positive, engaging and contribution based attitude, underpinned by a core aptitude for software development disciplines, specific skills can be developed. That being said, we do expect each individual to develop and as a team to continuously foster the growth of exceptional skills.
Symbiotics team members are expected to operate within an environment that offers significant flexibilities. Work hours are not mandated and micro-tasking is seldom evident. It is OK to wake up on a day and acknowledge to yourself that a ‘duvet day’ is needed, however this comes with a responsibility to clear this with your team, plan accordingly and ensure it is taken in context of meeting project and customer commitments.
Work is not all consuming, personal preferences and family life need to be given their rightful place. One sure way to commit a career-terminating move is to miss that highly important family event, because you thought that a work commitment would not allow you to attend and didn’t ask the team to stand-in for you.
Rules and guidelines are not set and instituted to constrain all; they are only there to protect both the individuals and Symbiotics from a transgressor. We do not expect transgression; hence don’t need to unnecessarily constrain the majority, we address the exceptional transgressions if and when they occur.
Do you demonstrate the level of maturity to responsibly operate in a team enjoying such flexibilities without needing to be policed?
Step 2: Telephone Interview
Should the portfolio be a potential match for a currently available position, the first interaction is conducted as a telephone interview lasting approximately 10 min.
Step 3: Online Assessment
The online behaviour/habits assessment indicates how well you will fit in with Symbiotics and the specific team in question. You will receive a copy of the results as performed by a 3rd-party on our behalf. The assessment will take 40 to 80 minutes.
Step 4: 1st Formal Interview
You will be invited to a first formal interview with a panel of 1 – 3 team members. This aims to verify alignment with core values and team fit as the primary objective. This interview is normally 1 – 1.5 hours in duration.
Step 5: Technical Assessment
You are invited to attend a technical assessment interview. Depending on the nature of the specific position being interviewed for, this session may include structured verbal questions & answers, written competency tests, problem solving exercises, mini-projects and demonstrations of prior work.
Step 6: Reference Checks
Depending on the specific position being interviewed for, authorization for reference and background verification may be requested and performed.
