Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took one week.
Overall, it was a good experience interviewing with Persona. I liked the transparency of their process and their online interviewing resources. My recruiter reached out to me, was extremely enthusiastic and friendly, and made me excited about working at Persona. My one-hour tech screen, which was in any language, was also a good experience. The engineer was friendly and personable. The question asked wasn't too difficult, and it was more practical than other LeetCode-type questions. I thought I did well, aside from a minor mistake, but I was rejected with no explanation. The overall process was very quick. The interview was scheduled quickly, and I received a response two days afterwards.

- 5.0Great opportunity in a growing spaceSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, CAMarch 14, 2025Pros: - Very human recruiting and onboarding process. The interview/hiring process felt personal like they genuinely wanted me to be a part of their team. - Lots of opportunities to grow and very different products to get your hands on and figure out what works best for you - As a newer employee, there already seems to be a lot of trust and freedom to make and own my decisions. - Strong culture -- super friendly teammates, lots of joking and lighter moments throughout the work dayCons: - Not necessarily a con, but it takes a while to get up to speed/wrap your head around the product(s) -- something I'm still doing. Coming from a B2C EdTech company, it was a whole new world being in the identity, B2B space.
