I applied online. I interviewed at Ping Identity (Halifax, NS) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview process with Ping Identity is very slow and it is divided into many phases:
1. You will apply online.
2. Will receive notification to do an online IQ and personality test.
3. Then you will receive a pre-screen call.
4. Next step is to fill a form with about 10 question and rate your skills in different areas related to the job.
5. Technical phone conference/interview with a group of engineers.
6. You will receive task list and login credentials for AWS account and need to do some tasks related to the job.
7. Another IQ test and personality test in front of a web camera.
8. ...something more for sure :)
During the hiring process with Ping Identity, I have received an offer from another company which hiring process was not so time-consuming and I have got money I wanted, so I lost my interest in Ping Identity before phase 6.
Because the adverts for this job is still active (July 2017), it looks like that they expanding their team or their HR processes are too tough and there are not enough desperate people :)

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Ping Identity in Jan 2026
Interview
1. Initial call with recruitment team, discussion re: skills and experience, salary expectations
2. Call with head of engineering, behavioural and some technical. Discussion about your experiences/skills
Second interview went really well, was told directly by the head of engineering that they enjoyed the discussion with me before ending the call and that they will definitely contact recruitment team to let me know about next stage. Then nothing. Radio silence. No updates or even replies when I contacted them multiple times.

Question 1
Experience and skills written in CV. Situational questions.
The interview process is very dissapointing. They ask you to do a personality test and a CCAT test. The questions are so offensive that I cant even imagine how the culture is in this company. Companies that put you through this process are not worth it and whoever decided this, you're not only losing talent, but you're building a toxic environment. You are not going to find the best employees through these tests.

Question 1
I dont have anything else to say, I already lost time writing this review.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ping Identity (Brisbin, PA) in Sep 2021
Interview
To put it simple stay clear of Ping identity. Any company who basis your ability to perform in a job position with a CCAT prior to interviewing is a company who doesn’t understand people.
There are many out of the box thinkers who may not solve questions on a CCAT test quick enough.
It’s obvious this company wants a group of cognitive robots who take orders.
Stay clear!
