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.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Persona Identities in Oct 2025
