I had a very positive experience interviewing with Pennylane. I especially appreciated the fast pace at which I received feedback, as well as the time the recruiter took to debrief after each step. This made the process feel both transparent and personal.
From the first call, all the interview steps were clearly outlined, so I always knew what to expect, something I found very helpful. My recruitment process took a bit longer, mainly due to my own scheduling constraints, as I had prior commitments and couldn't book the interviews close together. That said, Pennylane was very responsive.
Once I submitted the technical assessment, I received feedback and the next steps quickly. Regarding the interviews themselves, the technical homework debrief was a thoughtful discussion with one or two engineers about my approach, design decisions, and possible improvements. The final interview stage combined questions about my past experience with behavioral and situational scenarios, giving a well-rounded view of both technical and interpersonal skills.
