The interview process at Persona was extensive and involved about 6 rounds, including a take home assignment that took over 10 hours, and reference requests from my *current* employer. While the team I interacted with was professional, expectations changed mid-process regarding what references were accepted and what they wanted from candidates. Ultimately, I was not offered the role due to years of experience, a factor that was known from the very first interview.
Friendly recruiter call. The take-home assignment was a long demo with a video recording. The final on-site interview was short, only lasting 30 minutes. Final interview discussed take-home assignment solution and potential edge cases.
