I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks.

I had a fantastic recruitment experience with Pennylane! Right from the start, everything went smoothly, and the whole process was wrapped up in just about two weeks. The tech recruiter was super friendly and attentive, keeping me updated via email and phone at every step. The technical challenge was a bit time-consuming, but it was really enjoyable and well-structured. I had a great chat with a software engineer about both the technical and product aspects, and I got a chance to ask questions about the teams, company culture, and work style. The final interview with 2 managers, who were a co-founder and an engineering manager, was relaxed and insightful. We covered my past experiences and how I approach different work situations, and they shared a lot about Pennylane's vision, especially around product and tech. Overall, the process was transparent, communicative, and focused on ensuring a great fit for both sides!

For the challenge, you’ll be asked not just about your technical decisions but also about the user and product factors that influenced them. Generally, you’ll also be assessed on social skills and how your problem-solving approach and product thinking align with the company’s way of working.
