50 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “Tell us about a time you presented your own quantitative analysis (such as a regression model, a pay equity study or a workforce analysis) to a customer, client or senior non-technical stakeholder. Who was in the room, what did you recommend, and how did you handle a question or pushback on your methodology?”.
The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether Syndio does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — Syndio's asks for 49 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
