I applied online. I interviewed at 2U (New York, NY) in June 2016
Interview
First had an interview with HR, then a second round interview with 2 members of the content team. The HR rep asked typical questions about interest, experience and salary requirements. The two people from the Content team asked more in depth questions. They came across as very jargon-y Tech Bros. After not hearing back for a couple of weeks, I suddenly got another voicemail from the HR rep. I returned her call and left a message, but then never heard back again. It was very strange.

I had two phone screenings (first with a recruiter, then with members of the team), followed by a simulation of running a meeting. After that, I came for an in-person interview.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at 2U in Oct 2016
Interview
Process began with a phone call followed by a mock customer conversation conducted via GoToMeeting. I received positive feedback and was told they'd be in touch about next steps, but after a great deal of follow-up and fishing for answers, I learned the position had gone to internal hire. Though it took a long time, they did take the time to call, which I appreciated. A few months later, a second position was added and they were happy to reopen the conversation. Yet again, no follow-up no matter who I emailed, and this time no answer. They seemed like nice and conscientious people but in the small world of higher ed, this was a disappointing and disorganized experience.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at 2U
Interview
Went through three rounds of interview. The first two were phone interviews. The first a screener and second with a content strategist. Then had a third simulation assuming the role of a content strategist and talking with the professor. The third was a little strange given how little information they provided or their criteria for success. Plus the platform they use is really hiccupy and difficult to physically hear, so the interview became a little awkward. Then I didn't hear anything for 2 and half weeks despite following up with the HR person several times. We finally played phone tag before the person said it wasn't a good fit. Which took literally a week despite multiple voicemails and emails on my end. A strange process.
