Behavioral Technical
I went through a 5-stage interview process at Personetics over the course of a month. It included recruiter screening, technical testing, and three rounds with senior leaders. They mentioned the process was going well and even contacted two of my professional references for lengthy calls with HR and the hiring manager. After all this, I was told they went with another candidate who could start sooner. It felt like poor timing and a lack of transparency, especially since my references were involved. If availability was key, it should have been assessed earlier. The whole experience seemed disorganized and disrespectful of my time and the time of those who supported me.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation
The interview process at Personetics was pretty thorough. It started with an initial phone screening with a recruiter, where they asked about my experience and why I was interested in the role. Then, there was a technical assessment—either a test or a take-home task—to check my problem-solving skills and knowledge of QA processes. After that, I had a video interview with a hiring manager, where they went deeper into my experience, how I approach testing, and my familiarity with QA tools. In some cases, there’s also a home assignment, like analyzing a test case or troubleshooting a scenario, and then presenting my findings. The final round involved an in-person or panel interview where I had to discuss my approach to QA in more detail. Overall, they seemed to focus on both technical skills and whether I’d be a good fit for their company culture

Presentation Behavioral
The interview process was pretty standard, although the home assignment was quite excessive compared to others I've done, including an hourlong presentation of the work. Additionally, they called references for multiple candidates before coming to a decision, putting candidates in the uncomfortable situation of 'wasting' references, rather than deciding based on the extensive merit information from the interviews and using references as a final check.

Behavioral Technical Coding Other
Had a first chat with HR about my background and knowledge. Then I went to the company's office for an interview with the head of the JavaScript team. We talked about Hoisting, Closure, Scope, and Higher order functions, mostly focusing on ES5. After that, I had a take-home assignment and a discussion about it with the team lead. The assignment was to build a web app that shows the weather in your current location.
